I have a Fedora 25 installation that was setup originally with server
installation and have since added gnome desktop package groups and others.
On the console I get a standard non-graphical login prompt and from
there I can type startx and get into gnome just fine.
I don't want to change that.
I do want to use VNC to connect in over net and run gnome. I have
everything setup but when I connect into the VNC I initially got a blank
screen. I can get more than a blank screen by changing my local user's
xstartup script. For example if I add "gnome-terminal &" I'll have a
gnome terminal up on the blank screen just fine. I can add vncconfig
-iconic and that will be up as well.
However there is no window manager running so I can't move these windows
and while I can start other applications from the gnome-terminal I have
up I don't get the graphical icons available to click on to start programs.
Clearly I can not seem to get a window manager to startup.
I tried the default xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
and another example called xstartup.gnome-try:
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vns/startup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $Home/.Xresources
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax -exit-with-session`
echo "D-BUS per-session daemon address is: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
fi
exec gnome-session
Like I said if I add lines like
gnome-terminal &
or
vnccnfig -icon &
Before any of the exec lines those apps seem to be running.
Just no window manager.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I want to keep the console with an ASCII login and then use startx to
get a GUI from the console, but I want to also be able to get a GUI via VNC
Thanks
Chris K
