Open browser during vnc remote connection #1582

Closed mdatres closed 1 year ago

mdatres commented 1 year ago

Dear all,

I'm trying to open a browser during a tigervnc remote connection. I cannot see the firefox icon and running firefox from terminal I end up with this error:

/user.slice/user-1001.slice/session-58.scope is not a snap group

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance,

Max

Thanks for the quick reply. I try to explain better what I mean. I opened a TigerVNC gnome session. Everything worked fine, I'm able to open folders and also create files. I have just a problem with firefox. I would like to open firefox in the vnc session, but it doesn't work. Indeed, when I run the command firefox in the terminal, I end up with the following error /user.slice/user-1001.slice/session-58.scope is not a snap group. Below I attach my xstartup file:

!/bin/sh

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources vncconfig -iconic & dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

To open the service I used the command tigervncserver -xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup. Hope now the problem is clear, if not let me know. I want to thank you again.

Best,

Max

I'm afraid that startup script (tigervncserver) is from Debian/Ubuntu, and not from us. As such, it's not something we know the details of and is not something we can help you with.

I suggest filing an issue with your distribution and see if they can help.

You can also try using our packages from the release page. Note that they use a service instead of a script to launch sessions.
