[opensuse] Can't get VNC working on OpenSuse Leap 15 Gnome or KDE plasma
To Suse list users, Does anyone have VNC working with Open SUSE Leap 15? No matter how I configure things I get the black screen. Port 5801 and 5901 are in a listen mode. The web browser does the same thing, black screen after successful login. I have VNC working just fine on Leap 42.3 Thank You, Bob Perez Regards, Bob Perez Messaging Escalation, GroupWise Customer Support Micro Focus 1800 S Novell Place Provo, Utah 84606 (Phone)+1 801.861.8107 (Fax)+1 801.861.5255 bperez@gw.novell.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Where are you getting the black screen? On the VNC client or the VNC server SIDE? -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
John, The vnc client side. Multiple users here have tried to set it up and it never works. We have tried also this procedure : https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.ref... Does it work for you with OpenSuse 15 Leap ?

Both KRDC (in vnc mode) and TigerVNC work for me on Leap 15. which Yes they yield a mostly black screen, but that's intentional, because the target machine's VNC Server is set to remove wallpaper to save bandwidth. I just scroll down till the target machine's start menu shows, and launch programs as needed. Strictly in-house use so not using any encryption. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm using x11vnc through a ssh tunnel. The standard syntax, I used for years, did not work with Leap 15, because the file .Xauthority is no longer in the home directory, but in: /home/hendrik/.local/share/sddm/.Xauthority (I'm using sddm as the display manger). I need to specify the path explicitly for x11vnc, to get it working. Maybe other solutions suffer from the same problem?
