How to debug a vnc issue in Debian 10?

[Yuwen Dai]

Dear all,

I setup a vnc server in Debian 10 and connect to the server by using vnc
client,   the desktop shows, but I cannot launch any application.  There's
no error message.   It looks like a privilege issue.  This is what I did:

sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies gnome-icon-theme tightvncserver -y
vncpasswd
create my ./vnc/xstartup like this:

#! /bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/xfce4-session &

then run
 vncserver :1   -localhost no -verbose

in the client host, run
vncviewer :1

Are there any log files I can view to the debug this issue?   Thanks in
advance.

Best regards,
Yuwen
