Hi Jan,

The current install is complete, although we can always look into adding 
requested software that isn't in our current configuration.

VNC is a different issue though; the way it's implented in RHEL9 based 
operating systems like AlmaLinux 9 has changed, meaning it (essentially) 
can't be run on demand by users without admin privileges as previously.

We've been looking into alternatives and have a guide up here - 
https://hep.ph.liv.ac.uk/twiki/Computing/HEPx2goGuide - to one of them, 
x2go, which has so far been working for those who've tried it.

If you give that a go, let us know if there's any problems or any 
feedback. If it doesn't work for a particular use case, there are some 
other alternatives we're also looking into, so we may be able to find 
something that works.

Cheers,

Rob
