VNC server black screen

[Blisk]

OK last 5 hours I have searching internet and tried everything what I found regarding black screen, nothing works.
I still have black screen and VNC doesn't work.
Someone have any idea what can be wrong?

xstartup

#!/bin/sh

unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
x-window-manager &

vncserver@:1.service

# The vncserver service unit file
#
# Quick HowTo:
# 1. Copy this file to /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
# 2. Replace <USER> with the actual user name and edit vncserver
# parameters appropriately
# (ExecStart=/usr/sbin/runuser -l <USER> -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i"
# PIDFile=/home/<USER>/.vnc/%H%i.pid)
# 3. Run `systemctl daemon-reload`
# 4. Run `systemctl enable vncserver@:<display>.service`
#
# DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is
# untrusted! For a secure way of using VNC, you should
# limit connections to the local host and then tunnel from
# the machine you want to view VNC on (host A) to the machine
# whose VNC output you want to view (host B)
#
# [user@hostA ~]$ ssh -v -C -L 590N:localhost:590M hostB
#
# this will open a connection on port 590N of your hostA to hostB's port 590M
# (in fact, it ssh-connects to hostB and then connects to localhost (on hostB).
# See the ssh man page for details on port forwarding)
#
# You can then point a VNC client on hostA at vncdisplay N of localhost and with
# the help of ssh, you end up seeing what hostB makes available on port 590M
#
# Use "-nolisten tcp" to prevent X connections to your VNC server via TCP.
#
# Use "-localhost" to prevent remote VNC clients connecting except when
# doing so through a secure tunnel. See the "-via" option in the
# `man vncviewer' manual page.

For a start, don't vnc as root. I'd also suggest that you re-copy the sample unit file as you appear to have edited the current one. The only things you need to change are the parts where it says <USER> to your username. Your /home/$USER/.vnc.xstartup file should also look more like

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
vncserver -kill $DISPLAY

I tried with regular user everything and it doesn't work than because of bug I tried with root, and it is the same.
This also doens't work

unproven hint from my experience:

When you vnc (as a user) - it will be THAT user's account to which you connect on the remote. Therefore, that destination user account will already have to previously allowed sharing (Settings/Sharing - screen sharing & remore login).

Hopefully this is helpfull.

Sorry don't know what you mean

What I had to do in Gnome:

From machine A you are trying (as user "Blisk") to VNC to machine B.
On machine B, as "Blisk", go into Settings as mentioned and enable the sharing.

Still don't know what I should enable. What sharing? of folder?
