SO I have something based on stripped ubuntu 24.04 and echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE says x11 for my computer and I use tigerVNC viewer. I used to get video from the PPp running Mobian trixie and now I get the grey on theVNC but I can use it for input if I can see the phone's screen.
I am not sure if wlroots requires a change in the config of the VNC server on the PPp?
hi, no solution but just remarks: looking up the problem there are lots of reasons why wayvnc may show a gray screen. one of the principal ones is that mobian's user (usually 'mobian') is not in the 'video' users group by default. unfortunately, "sudo usermod mobian -aG video" neither fixes the vnc problem, nor the other great problem of mobian that keeps it short of daily driving (for some people): the camera. No matter which camera app is used - related because the video group addition was suggested as a fix for both of these problems.
must be something in the setting of wlroots or wayvnc - strange that no error or warning appears at all, just gray screen (and apparently works in other distros that use phosh).
