Black screen on vnc and grey screen on iLo, possible /run/user/1000/dconf/user problem?


Hi all,

I'm getting a black screen when connected to my HP server on VNC, and a grey screen when connected remotely via iLo. I checked the
Code:
/var/log/messages
and noticed that there were a lot of the error messages shown below. I'm not sure if they're related.

Code:
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by uid 1000! (This could e g happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.)

Suppressed 167046 messages from /user.slice/user-1000.slice

Strange thing is my /run/user/ folder only contains subfolders 0 and 42, no 1000.

The output of echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is /run/user/0

I have restarted the server several times and nothing works. I'm able to ssh into the server though, and login using the root account.

Thank you.
