For something that went wrong during init, look at var/log/boot.msg
Thanks, that helped. I had to add PATH, USER, and HOME to after.local. Now it starts, but it's loading the wrong window manager. Instead of gnome-session it's starting fvwm. What's interesting is that when the vncserver starts, it says: Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/.vnc/server01:49.log xstartup: #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc xrdb $HOME/.Xresources gnome-session& If I start vncserver after the system is totally booted and logged in as root, then it correctly starts gnome-session. So I assume something is still missing in the environment variables.
