    Problem with vncserver running Kali 2019.2 arm32 bit.

    I dont know if i post this in the right subforum, if not can you move it to the right place


    Hi, I need some help. Im trying to get the VNC connection to work, but for some reason I cant figure out what to go from here, what have i forgot? Nothing modded or changed from ISO file except a password for vncserver from first run.

    I need 2 things, really, first one is to actually got it started, secondly how to add it to update-rc.d.

    Im using vncserver thats preinstalled from ISO
    Kali 2019.2 ARM 32bit Using Paspberry Pi with HDMI

    Mad76e@kali:~# vncserver
    Couldn't start Xtightvnc; trying default font path.
    Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
    Couldn't start Xtightvnc process.

    Lightbulb Fix for vnc error: "could not open default font 'fixed'"

    This will fix it:

    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xfonts-base

    It did, I have a session, and i can connect to it, however i do have more problems


    So, it seems that i suffer from the same issue as many other. The grey empty window with a cursor. However my session dont crashes Is there a way around this?


    "vncserver" in terminal gave me a grey session when running the client
    "vncserver -geometry 1024x768" did also give me a grey session
    Modifying "xstartup" in /root/.vnc/ did give me a terminal window (removed # on x-terminal line, just to check that it works)

    content in xstartup

    #!/bin/sh

    xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
    xsetroot -solid grey
    # x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
    # x-window-manager &
    # Fix to make GNOME work
    export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
    /etc/X11/Xsession

    Try this xstartup:

    https://github.com/Re4son/RPi-Tweaks...rvice/xstartup

    That should do the trick
