This thread is a follow-up to this one here:
After getting vnc to work again, I still appear to have an odd issue with it. As the title suggest, whenever I connect I just have a black screen with a cursor, nothing else.
I tried setting [xdmcp] to Enable=true in /etc/gdm/custom.conf but to no avail.
I have this problem with or without a display attached, even though I am sometimes able to connect when a display is attached. Without a display I got an error message stating that the request has been rejected. Which is why I created a 10-headless.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with the following data:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "dummy_monitor"
HorizSync 28.0-80.0
VertRefresh 48.0-75.0
Modeline "1366x768" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "dummy_card"
VideoRam 256000
Driver "dummy"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "dummy_screen"
Device "dummy_card"
Monitor "dummy_monitor"
SubSection "Display"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Which also makes me wonder, is this supposed to work under wayland? Executing loginctl show-session 4 -p Type says Type=x11, but my /etc/gdm/custom.conf has the following data:
# GDM configuration storage
[daemon]
AutomaticLogin=alex
AutomaticLoginEnable=True
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=true
[security]
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
[chooser]
[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true
So, I’m a little bit lost here and any help would be appreciated.
