Details
Description:
Running xfce4start in a VNC session fails with the following message: Unable to load a failsafe session. Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly. Unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS used to trigger a new dbus session it seems, now a turnaround is to run dbus-launch before xfce4start to avoid this failure. However dbus-launch is supposed to be deprecated I think. the script and the context can be seen there as well: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TigerVNC#Edit_the_environment_file Additional info: * package version(s) 4.12.1-11 * config and/or log files etc. ~/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS exec startxfce4 Steps to reproduce: with the ~/.vnc/xstartup as defined above. $ vncserver :1 Unable to load a failsafe session. Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set |

My details may not be very clear, let me know if I should provide
more explanations.
this has been a while and I don't use TigerVNC anymore, not sure
if this is still relevant with current versions
