[Software] tigervnc server not starting up

#1 Post by beej »

Hi

I'm seeing the same thing reported in bug 1000871. (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... ug=1000871)

Joachim Falk write the following there:
===
as far as I can tell, tigervnc does not segfault. The problem is that the
xfce session segfaults and terminates early.

<snip>

this is not the standard configuration. Someone
must have edited some configuration files to specify the xfce
session.
===

My system is a recently installed Debian 11.

I didn't purposefully customize anything related to this other than manually installing tigervnc.

How do I figure out what the standard configuration is supposed to be so I can restore it?

Or do you have any hints for getting XFCE to be happy here?

how do you want tigervnc server to run? as an isolated desktop on some network port, or to mirror the existing console desktop? They are separate configurations.

There is a fair amount of vncserver info online if you spend a while web searching it. If you want it to run as a console desktop mirror then it gets started as an autostart to your user profile. If you want an isolated desktop then it gets started as a systemd service.\

For what its worth, all flavors of vncserver I've played with lately dont' work well with my proprietary nvidia driver and firefox. Firefox uses an advanced X11 visual now that can cause vnc servers to crash. Have not experienced the problem with VMs using pure RDP protocol.
