Hi, I've installed tigervnc according to the instructions here for a new fedora30 install: https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Fedora_28&p=desktop&f=6 mate-desktop doesn't seem to work properly, so I've just stuck with the default xinitrc, which produces the default fedora30 desktop. I can connect to the remote machine after providing authorization, then the local authorization at least twice and finally getting to the remote desktop. It appears as it normally does, with "Activities" in the upper-left. The problem is that after starting any applications, whether it's the file manager, Firefox, or a regular terminal, it starts, but the app does not appear. I believe it's being directed to another display. Is that possible? I've started the application, and I can confirm it's running by connecting to the machine via ssh and finding it in the process list, but it just doesn't display on the remote desktop. I don't have physical access to the machine to see if the app is started on the default desktop. Here is my ~/.vnc/xstartup: $ cat xstartup #!/bin/sh unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc #exec /usr/bin/mate-session Here is the log file that is produced after starting vncserver: $ cat localhost.localdomain\:1.log Xvnc TigerVNC 1.9.0 - built Feb 3 2019 09:54:51 Copyright (C) 1999-2018 TigerVNC Team and many others (see README.rst) See http://www.tigervnc.org for information on TigerVNC.

Ideas greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
