Starting from https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...Replacing-SDDM for a better clarity,
I open this new thread because may issue is not completely connected to SDDM but it seems more connected to VNC.
I want to run a VNC server as normal user and connect to it with a remote PC.
The PC server has as display manager SDDM (but I've tried also with xdm with same results).
As normal user (on PC server) I run the command :
I also created a password to access to it.
This is the content of /home/icai/.vnc/xstartup :
This is the output of lsof:
On a remote PC (with SDDM) as normal user I run
I give the vnc password and I get back a black screen (I get this with SDDM or xdm on PC server).
When I do the same steps but with root (on PC server) everything work (with SDDM or xdm on PC server).
IMHO I believe that the issue is not related to display manager but maybe is related to some kind of permission ...
