I tried to no avail 1) to call xfce4-session through ssh-agent 2) to unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK SSH_AGENT_PID before calling xfce4-session 3) to chown root /tmp/.ICE-unix/ I give up trying to allow an xfce session at the console and under VNC. This is not possible also with MATE: the VNC session, started after the one at the console, is blocked on: Could not acquire name on session bus Close and then nothing is usable. As samuel said earlier, having two sessions may: cause great confusion and weird happenings. I have a workaround. For years, I use only a VNC session. When at the console I only connect to it with a vncviewer "session" defined as: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=vncviewer1 Session Exec=vncviewer :1 Icon= Type=Application DesktopNames=VNCVIEWER1 otherwise, I connect to it with "vncviewer -via". I don't need to have GPU acceleration. This may be available with vglrun, when at the console. -- francis -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
