Something has gone wrong. about turbovnc HOT 3 CLOSED

I have no experience with Clear Linux, but my best guess is that maybe the GNOME session uses Wayland by default. A pure Wayland window manager won't work with TurboVNC, because TurboVNC is a virtual X server. Is there a separate GNOME/X11 session file? You can specify a different window manager by passing -wm to /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver or setting the $wm variable in /etc/turbovncserver.conf or ~/.vnc/turbovncserver.conf. The value of that argument/variable corresponds to a .desktop file under /usr/share/xsessions, minus the .desktop extension. If there is a separate session file for GNOME/X11 (for example, /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-x11.desktop), then you can pass that value (for example, gnome-x11) to -wm or $wm. Otherwise I would suggest installing Xfce or MATE and using that with TurboVNC.

Thank you. It looks like Wayland is the issue. I am currently looking for a remote desktop solution that does work w/Wayland, and can also be installed on CL. Not too many choices I'm afraid.

It is on my long-term radar (#18), but it would be a massive undertaking. I would need to engage with an organization that needs such a remote desktop solution, and it would probably take in excess of US$10,000 of labor in order to develop that solution around TurboVNC. (The good news is that our viewer would still work as-is. We would just need a Weston-based TurboVNC Server.) The idea is that the TurboVNC Server would become a Wayland compositor, and X applications would be supported by running the system's installation of Xwayland against our compositor. It should be possible to get 3D acceleration for free with such a solution, thus eliminating the need for a VirtualGL-like interposer.
