Hi All,

Here are the details of my config:

Linux kali 5.4.83-Re4son-v7l+
Raspberry Pi 4
Using TightVNC in a headless setup
KDE Plasma

I had the setup working when I had the XFCE Desktop installed, but I wanted to migrate to KDE Plasma.

Here is my ~/.vnc/xstartup file:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

xrdb "$HOME/.Xresources"
#startxfce4 &
xsetroot -solid grey
#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#x-window-manager &
# Fix to make GNOME work
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
/etc/X11/Xsession
/usr/bin/startplasma-x11 &

Here is the systemctl status output of the vncserver service:

From the KDE errors, looks like process KDE 2341 errors out and seems to be related to the X11 connection.
Any thoughts on what could fix this?

Thanks,
Randy
