VNC Server session "Oh no! Something has gone wrong"

Hello everyone, I am trying to give an “Intel Compute Stick” a second life, after using Ubuntu for a while, I thought that in regards of performance and processor compatibility Clear Linux would be a better choice.

I have just made a clean installation on my stick (core m3 model) and I am facing and issue when trying to connect using vncserver.

I followed up the clear linux online guide to deploy vncserver, but when I try to connect I see a full window stating “Oh no! Something has gone wrong”… does anyone knows how to fix this? :pensive:

This is my journal dump:

Are you in an XWayland GNOME session? If so, switch to GNOME over X11 session once you click in the user name field of the GDM screen, using the button that appears. I don’t recall if that is available or not on the Live Image.

I was able to half get things to work under XWayland in Ubuntu, but it was a real kluge, and ugly.

I was getting this issue “*** MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE is deprecated; use MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DISABLE instead ***” in kde, while opening libreoffice which was running quite slow.
This issue get resolved after installing devpkg-mesa.
