Re: VNC shows black screen

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have tried 3 different resolution settings with no difference. Well, the size of the vnc client window changes but the screen remains black in all cases.

Again the odd thing is that the Welcome Window shows up for a  new user. So, if you can tell it to run a GUI app it seems it will. It's just that the window manager doesn't seem to take control to provide a way to allow you to start any GUI apps.

Just curious....(and understand I have NO "super genius" skills like the 99% of people on this mailing list...I'm just actually....naturally curious) but what about "resolution" settings?....I know I once tried to get an instance of Virtual box running...and I kept getting a blank screen...and it was somehow?....the resolution that was "proposed" as opposed to what it "really" was that was causing an issue.....just throwing this out there. It probably doesn't factor into your situation...

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
