headless remote session vino black screen

hi all,


i have a desktop with amd 3200G cpu that i run headless. i'm trying to connect via vnc, but when i do i get only a black screen. this is with a fresh install of mint 20 cinnamon and all updates installed. this setup previously worked with ubuntu 19.10.


i have installed vino following these instructions:

i have installed a dummy display following these instructions:

when connecting via vnc, it detects the server, does the password authentication, and then brings me to a black screen.


any help is much appreciated. thanks.

Moved to MINT as a more appropriate forum.

Although Mint is derived from Ubuntu, it is an entirely independent distribution and is not one of the official flavors of Ubuntu.

if anyone is looking for the solution that worked for me, i missed an option in dconf to disable approval prompt when connecting remotely. after changing this everything worked as expected.
