I am having an issue in Raspbian on the LePotato with starting the vncserver service and running vncserver at all. I get the following log / error responses with each of the following commands. Tight VNC Server works fine for me but with the 8 character limit password among other things, I would rather use Real VNC Server (realvnc-vnc-server apt package) if possible. Any help or thoughts are appreciated!
sudo vncserver command outputs

On some distributions (in particular Red Hat), you may get a better experience
by running vncserver-virtual in conjunction with the system Xorg server, rather
than the old version built-in to Xvnc. More desktop environments and
applications will likely be compatible. For more information on this alternative
implementation, please see: https://www.realvnc.com/doclink/kb-546
