Tight VNC instructions are not given, just putty and ssh through cli. Please can you point me in direction to documentation that helps connect via tightVNC? i am connecting using <server_ip>:5901

Hi, @marriog

Have you tried using another client different from tightvnc? You can use RealVNC, VNC Viewer or Remmina as well.

If you’re still getting a blank page you can do the following. Add the following snippet to the xstartup which is mentioned in step 1 - /home/sammy/.vnc/xstartup and try again.

#!/bin/sh
 unset SESSION_MANAGER
 unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
 dbus-launch xfce4-session

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
