How can I launch a Mate session from a GNOME3 physical session?
Is it
export TVNC_WM=mate
?
I doubt that the issue would still occur. The best way to configure
TurboVNC to use MATE persistently is to set
$wm = "mate";
in ~/.vnc/turbovncserver.conf. However, you can also temporarily select
MATE by passing
-wm mate
to /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver when starting the TurboVNC session.
Note that https://turbovnc.org/Documentation/Compatibility30 is the
go-to resource for TurboVNC window manager info. It lists all of the
window managers that have been tested by me or others in the community,
how to install those WMs, how to select them in TurboVNC, and any known
issues.
This may not be related, but if I comment out WaylandEnable=false in
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf, restart GDM, and log in locally with a
GNOME/Wayland session, I cannot start GNOME in a TurboVNC session. This
is true regardless of whether I try to start the TurboVNC session from
the GNOME/Wayland session or from a completely separate SSH session.
When xstartup.turbovnc tries to launch GNOME, GNOME always tries to
direct its display to the Wayland session, even if WAYLAND_DISPLAY is
unset. I mention this only to point out that there are apparently still
some ways in which a local GNOME session can interfere with a TurboVNC
GNOME session through systemd, even if the two are not sharing a D-Bus
session bus instance. I am open to any workarounds for that, but I
don't know of any personally-- except using a different WM in TurboVNC
or not trying to use TurboVNC simultaneously with a local login.
