Tigervnc does not launch x or desktop session

[bitcoinmeetups]

Describe the bug Tigervnc does not launch the full x or desktop session

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

tigervncserver :1 -localhost no -geometry 1600x900 -depth 24 -fg -xstartup /usr/bin/xterm

Expected behavior

I expect an x session to start with xfce4 so I can work on the laptop from the connected device.

Screenshots

Instead I get this simplified view. It can run graphical applications but xfce4 is not running and xdotool is not working for example, even though xfce4 is actually running on the laptop, it does not run inside the vnc connection

Client (please complete the following information):

Android bvnc

Server (please complete the following information):

• OS: Debian 12
• VNC server: tigervnc
• VNC server version: latest on 2024-05-05
• Server downloaded from: debian main repo
• Server was started using: [e.g. tigervncserver]

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

I'm afraid the tigervncserver script is specific to Debian, so you'll need to file a bug with them to get help with that.

It does look that command line says to run just xterm, though, not a complete desktop environment.
