Not sure I can type this cleanly....
My laptop has developed a mind of its own, randomly typing down-arrow
while I watch. Makes many things difficult.
Any suggestion as how to fix/avoid/live with?

Hi,
Happy New Year to you all.
I have been attempting to see my pi desktop via vnc and realize I am a
bit short of some "Basic" knowledge!
The simple question is:
What exactly is VNC, is it the overriding general concept or is vnc
just one of many protocols like RDP?
The reason I ask is because I can ssh from my PC/laptop/Android to the
pi CLI OK. I can also see the pi desktop via RDP viewer (from fedora
24) BUT I cannot connect using x11vnc on the pi.
I have configured a password (as user) it appears to not have it
registered. I have also tried various x11vnc commands to find a password
but it still refuses to start.
FYI I am using the latest Raspian OS. Perhaps the problem is I have got
remains of an old vnc config that is causing this problem.
Unfortunately I cannot show any outputs as I cannot find how I can cut
and paste from a remote desktop screen to this PC. If anyone has done
this could you please let me know?
Thanks
Regards

If the laptop is something mainstream, you shouldn't need to pay more than £30 (and hopefully a fair bit less!) for a new one.
Best Regards,
Alex

Most likely indeed a bust key, often it is just gunk making it
sticky. Possible remedies/workarounds:
* Disable that key in both the console and the X windows
keyboard decoding tables. To disable simply don't assign
any symbol to it. There are many howtos on how to edit those
tables, mostly for remapping keys for international users.
* Clean your keyboard. It is usually fairly easy to remove a
keyboard from a laptop by removing first the top shell, and
sometimes just a strip. There are videos that show how to
remove a laptop's keyboard for many/most models.
* Physically disable the relevant key on the keyboard; this is
often not easy as they are tightly packed.
* Replace the keyboard entirely. There are several suppliers of
fairly cheap official and unofficial replacement parts for
many laptops, and keyboards are one of the most common items
replaced.
In general I use my laptop mostly at home or work, and then
I use it with an external keyboard to avoid wearing down the
builtin one (for many people keyboards and mice are in effect
consumables), and also because builtin laptop keyoards are often
not very comfortable (and I like mechanical keyboards).
Also it is often nice to use a laptop stand to elevate the
screen, and then the keyboard becomes too high. I also as a rule
use an external monitor and keep the laptop closed (disabling the
automatic sleep mode when it is shut). This gives me at home and
work a better larger screen.

It is a Toshiba Portege; actually the keyboard as keys that do not work
often (rnh in particular). This is the 5th laptop I have owned and the
only non-Thinkpad. The first time have ad a real problem wit any.
I know this sounds lame, but ow does one go about getting a keyboard
replaced?
