      I'm working on setting up a continued PoC and a VNC connection to my Fedora environment would be ideal. So I install Tigervnc following the instructions - since the default fedora download offers gnome that's what I've used. (I'm also not particularly caring as to the desktop experience).

      I made the changes to ~/.vnc/xstartup to have exec /usr/bin/gnome-session and still I get a blank screen while connecting.

      I've edited /etc/systemd/system/[email protected] to have my username and I can connect to the system, but still getting a blank screen.

      Looking for some assistance.

        Fedora Gnome3 desktop uses Wayland display session. You need to be using Xorg instead.

            You’ll have a better experience with using a different a Desktop environment that still uses Xorg for both the login screen and desktop session by default.

              @black3dynamite No change, still getting a blank connection.

              Just a black session.
