I have tried 3 different resolution settings with no difference. Well,
the size of the vnc client window changes but the screen remains black
in all cases.
Again the odd thing is that the Welcome Window shows up for a new user.
So, if you can tell it to run a GUI app it seems it will. It's just that
the window manager doesn't seem to take control to provide a way to
allow you to start any GUI apps.
Thanks

I am trying to get Tiger VNC working on a home machine running
Fedora 29
with latest patches applied.
I can connect and provide user's password but the screen is blank.
On initial connection I got the Welcome Window that asked for
keyboard
style and such, but when I closed that window nothing but a black
screen
and that's all I get now when I log in. If I remove the user and
add her
back I get the Welcome Window again, but when that is done again
black
screen. Essentially there is no way to start an application and
nothing
setting the background. Seems the window manager isn't getting
control
or something.
I have:
Environment=XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
In the /etc/systemd/system/vncserver-karen@.service file, which some
sites have indicated may be needed. I have tried a couple of
combinations of the .vnc/xstartup I've seen from various places,
but am
back to the original:
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
I have this working fine on a Fedora 29 machine at work. All the
files I
know of to compare I have and they seem the same, like the ones
mentioned above.
I attached the output of "systemctl status
vncserver-karen@:2.service".
It looks like everything is started fine. I haven't found any error
messages that seem to apply.
I saw some comments that selinux could be an issue. I have selinux
disabled both in the /etc/selinux/config file:
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
Also from command line I can see it isn't enabled:
$ getenforce
Disabled
The gnome-session-binary seems to be running according to systemctl
output. I just don't know why it doesn't seem to be taking control of
things.
Any pointers or suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
