Description of problem: Connecting to a VNC session to Fedora 26 leads to a black screen (worked with F25) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Configure a vncserver@\:X.service in /etc/systemd/system: [code] [Unit] Description=Remote desktop service (VNC) After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=forking User=charlie Environment=XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 # Clean any existing files in /tmp/.X11-unix environment ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i ExecStart=-/usr/bin/vncserver %i PIDFile=/home/charlie/.vnc/%H%i.pid ExecStop=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target [/code] Configure .vnc/config [code] geometry=2880x1800 depth=32 [/code] Connect with a vnc client (in my case vncviewer from my mac) Actual results: Black screen but with the pointer Expected results: My Shiny new Fedora 26 desktop Additional info: * The systemd service does not work the first time, could it be fixed too? * Does the X11 configuration line mandatory? It could be nice to use Wayland, but the 'known bugs' page said that remote handling is at 50%. * Is there a better way to remote connect to Fedora? I'm kind of a linux noob and do not really understand all that x11-server, Vnc, Wayland, Etc. stuff...
When i said 'the first time' it means 'at boot', sry.
I'm experiencing this on F27 with TigerVNC Server and the TigerVNC VNC Server Module as well.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
