No GUI output on noVNC viewer

[Ezemaduka Chibuikem]

Hi, 

After successfully running /share/powder/runvnc.sh, I am only seeing a gray blank screen when I open the generated VNC link on my browser (please see screenshot attached). Has anyone encountered this problem and have a solution?

PS: The viewer has always worked normally for me until now.

BR,

Chibu

Hello Chibu,

I noticed that this question was not answered. I'm not sure where you found instructions to execute `runvnc.sh` (maybe in an old profile, with old instructions?), but this is no longer necessary. POWDER has a built-in mechanism for initializing VNC and the corresponding X session/server, but the profile script must request it. When requested by the profile, the POWDER Portal UI will include a "start noVNC session" option in the cog menu for applicable nodes in the list of nodes.

If you provide a link to the profile you're using, we'll take a look to see if it needs to be updated.

BR,

-Kirk

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn’t aware that runvnc.sh was outdated. I’ve resolved the issue by using another VNC viewer. Appreciate your feedback.

Regards,
Chibu
