I have a Fedora 25 installation that was setup
originally with server installation and have since added gnome
desktop package groups and others.
On the console I get a standard non-graphical login
prompt and from there I can type startx and get into gnome just
fine.
I don't want to change that.
I do want to use VNC to connect in over net and run
gnome. I have everything setup but when I connect into the VNC I
initially got a blank screen. I can get more than a blank screen
by changing my local user's xstartup script. For example if I
add "gnome-terminal &" I'll have a gnome terminal up on the
blank screen just fine. I can add vncconfig -iconic and that
will be up as well.
However there is no window manager running so I
can't move these windows and while I can start other
applications from the gnome-terminal I have up I don't get the
graphical icons available to click on to start programs.
Clearly I can not seem to get a window manager to
startup.
I tried the default xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
and another example called xstartup.gnome-try:
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec
/etc/vns/startup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb
$Home/.Xresources
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax -exit-with-session`
echo "D-BUS per-session daemon address is:
$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
fi
exec gnome-session
Like I said if I add lines like
gnome-terminal &
or
vnccnfig -icon &
Before any of the exec lines those apps seem to be
running.
Just no window manager.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I want to keep the console with an ASCII login and
then use startx to get a GUI from the console, but I want to
also be able to get a GUI via VNC
Thanks
