While following the steps described at this answered question (ubuntu 14.10 multiple Simultaneous independent remote (desktop like ) connections), I am unable to complete Step 8 it seems -

sudo update-rc.d vncserver defaults 99

I get this message:

adam@server:/etc/init.d$ sudo `update-rc.d vncserver defaults 99`

When I reboot, the VNC server is not running. Any thoughts? I followed all of the other instructions verbatim.

Thanks!

    What version of Ubuntu are you using? The init system has changed since that answer was posted, I'm not sure that update-rc.d is appropriate now. Regardless, the command probably should not have backticks as shown there. – steeldriver Aug 20 '17 at 18:09
