I am trying to get Tiger VNC working on a home machine running Fedora 29
with latest patches applied.
I can connect and provide user's password but the screen is blank.
On initial connection I got the Welcome Window that asked for keyboard
style and such, but when I closed that window nothing but a black screen
and that's all I get now when I log in. If I remove the user and add her
back I get the Welcome Window again, but when that is done again black
screen. Essentially there is no way to start an application and nothing
setting the background. Seems the window manager isn't getting control
or something.
I have:
Environment=XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
In the /etc/systemd/system/vncserver-karen@.service file, which some
sites have indicated may be needed. I have tried a couple of
combinations of the .vnc/xstartup I've seen from various places, but am
back to the original:
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
I have this working fine on a Fedora 29 machine at work. All the files I
know of to compare I have and they seem the same, like the ones
mentioned above.
I attached the output of "systemctl status vncserver-karen@:2.service".
It looks like everything is started fine. I haven't found any error
messages that seem to apply.
I saw some comments that selinux could be an issue. I have selinux
disabled both in the /etc/selinux/config file:
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
Also from command line I can see it isn't enabled:
$ getenforce
Disabled
The gnome-session-binary seems to be running according to systemctl
output. I just don't know why it doesn't seem to be taking control of
things.
Any pointers or suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Chris K
