Re: DietPi VNC Server Headless....head wrecked!
Tried that and ss -alnp | grep Xvnc-core still returns nada
Re: DietPi VNC Server Headless....head wrecked!
but what is the output of the manual start? for me the last lines looks like this
Code: Select all
...
Running applications in /root/.vnc/xstartup

'/usr/local/bin/vncserver start' does not appear to restart the vnc server service at all. Running it does not error out but it returns no output
Re: DietPi VNC Server Headless....head wrecked!
yes that's correct. ths command did not restart the service. It will start the server manually only. Anyhow it should give anything back. For me it's quite a long output. Still something seems to be strange on your VNC installation. can you do ps -ef|grep vnc and post the entire output

Do you have a spare SD card and could do a fresh install? Something seems to be wrong

Re: DietPi VNC Server Headless....head wrecked!
yup, thats all of it
This was a fresh install about 60 mins ago. Wiped the SD card, included the RealVNC installation in the dietpi.txt that was on the SD card before first boot. Literally nothing else done since.
The first install also includes
emby
mariadb
vim
samba client
syncthing
I might strip back the rest, and literally just do realVNC (and manually via dietpi-software) and see what happens, in case there is some weird issues during install.

Re: DietPi VNC Server Headless....head wrecked!
Currently it looks like there is no xsession started for VNC

Re: DietPi VNC Server Headless....head wrecked!
Ok. So a fresh install, cutting the dietpi.txt for first boot to the bare bones of just the IP address required, plus a manual install of realVPN via dietpi-software, got my ps -ef | grep vnc to display this
Also 'ss -alnp | grep Xvnc-core' looks better
Still can't connect tho. Same error of 'Cannot currently show the desktop'

Re: DietPi VNC Server Headless....head wrecked!
Ok that looks good now. You should be able to connect using IP:1 or IP:5901. Thats the port the vnc is running on as you can see on your output above.
