I just installed a brand new install of openSUSE 13.2, and ran the lovely “vncserver :1” and it asked for password, and then when I log into console I get a black desktop where I can’t do anything. I have tried to change the /root/.vnc/xstartup file, and even tried putting “/usr/bin/gnome” at the bottom of the script, but nothing I do seems to work. I keep getting the same results. Can anyone help me figure out why I can’t get a desktop?
My log file for the session shows:
