VNC failed to start Gnome

[notooth]

Hello,

I have OpenBSD 6.7 and tigervnc on my host and OpenBSD 6.7, Gnome and tigervnc on a virtual machine. The ~/.vnc/xstartup on VM is:

#!/bin/sh
messagebus gdm

The problem is that when I connect to the VNC server, there is only a blank screen.
Can anyone help?

messagebus is not an an executable in your $PATH. Instead, it is an rc.subr(8) script started by the rc.d(8) subsystem, administered through rcctl(8), and the script is located in /etc/rc.d/

Please review these man pages.

And, please see the discussion of messagebus and gdm in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/gnome.

Lasty, if I recall correctly, Gnome requires 3D hardware acceleration. If I'm right, you'll need to choose a different graphical desktop environment for the virtual machine.

Thank you.
