Anw, added the shebang. Thank you very much!

VNC shows no image, just black screen. Any solution?

VNC shows no image, just black screen. Any solution?

Basically install a dummy driver:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy

Then write it in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf file (create one, if it does not exist):

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "dummy"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5-48.5
VertRefresh 50-70
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080"
EndSubSection
EndSection
