Public bug reported: Describe the bug I have a raspberry pi 3b+ with raspbian 9 fresh upgraded and connected via ssh tunnel to localhost. There runs a x11vnc-server on port 5900 via systemctl service. I know to find tons of articles on the web but none of them work for me and not every article has a result :(
To Reproduce Some days ago I upgraded a raspberry py from raspbian 8 to 9 with no problem. I can connect after reboot to localhost and redirected port and get normal screen. After disconnecting I can reconnect several times. After maybe one hour of no connection I can connect again but end only in black screen with cursor. A friend from outside via openvpn tries the same but with local ip and can connect but also gets a black screen on first try. In notes: -- connection via ssh to localhost connect after reboot -> normal screen (then working, disconnect) connect after some time -> black screen with cursor. -- connection in same network (openvpn) connect after reboot -> black screen with cursor. connect after some time -> black screen with cursor. Expected Behavior A connection from inside network to normal screen, not black screen.
