You're supposed to edit .vnc/xstartup on tightvncserver side before starting tightvncserver. > How do I get xfce started on that session? Something like this should do it (.vnc/xstartup): #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey /usr/bin/startxfce4 > Better yet, how can I connect to the existing session on :0? Forget about tightvncserver, it cannot do that. Use: apt install x11vnc x11vnc -display :0 -auth Reco
vnc 64bit-32bitor Buster to Bullseye
Greetings; I have a vanilla 64-bit install of Buster which claims to be Debian 10.1. I am trying to vnc from there to my old 32-bit machine which is running Bullseye (don't know what it claims to be). Using tightvncserver on the 32-bit side and xtightvncviewer on the 64-bit side I have managed to get a connection, but no desktop manager. The viewer shows me a window but it is just gray, actually very small black and white spots. How do I get xfce started on that session? Better yet, how can I connect to the existing session on :0? I can't seem to hook up to that. Strangely, when I connect to a Windows machine it seems to do exactly that! Any assistance greatly appreciated! Many TIA! Dennis
