Jul 22 14:22:34 megatron .desktop: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Jul 22 14:22:34 megatron .desktop: Cannot open display:

var/log/syslog lists a large number of outputs from when I try to connect, but I think the following contains the relevant error. The system is simple: Ubuntu 20.04 with the default desktop, which seems to be GNOME based - not what I would have chosen, but then this isn't for my use. I have been through more helpful web-pages than I care to list, but the latest, slightly successful one was TigerVNC (on Arch Linux), the section Running Xvnc with XDMCP for on demand sessions.

The user should be asked for username and password.

This is what I want to achieve, and as I understand it, TigerVNC should be able to handle it: I am trying to setup TigerVNC - or indeed any VNC server - on Ubuntu 20.04, and I am beginning to get frustrated, because none of the instructions I can find actually work, although I have got it to work on CentOS.
