Bug Description
9.10 i386 Final.
Two issues really, when installing you are given the option to enable various services, but VNC is grayed out.
So, after setting up the frontend, and copying my old LIRC configuration files over, thought I'd enable VNC.
Run MCC, select 'Services', check VNC, click 'Apply'.
Packages are downloaded and installed, and right at the end, before the progress window closes, I noticed 'Configuring Remote'. Remote / irw now unresponsive, my lircd.conf, hardware.conf have been replaced. Restaring LIRC results in an error 'Cannot load modules'. Had to dpkg-reconfigure lirc, so reselect my homebrew serial receiver, and copy the correct files back.

To post a comment you must log in.
So the VNC being disabled during install only happens if you choose a short password. You need to choose a longer password (6+ characters) for it to be offered. Perhaps rather than graying it out, we should just remove it from the page if you have too short a password to avoid confusion.
Can you please provide the files that you copied in place and the exact order all this happened so we can replicate the scenario and debug?
