Hi,
I have been using VNC on CentOS 7 server from last couple of months and it was running all fine till last night. Unfortunately, there was an abrupt power failure and system got restarted. Now, when I try to login with VNCviwer, it thrown an error message- "*Gnome - oh no! Something has gone wrong "* with a logout option. When I click on logout, I see black/dark gray screen with 3 check boxes.
I googled to figure out a solution and tried several solutions but could not fix the problem. Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Regards Hersh
I forgot to mention, I have followed steps mentioned in this link https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm... for configuring vnc.
I have also tried upgrading VNCserver but that didn't help either.
Regards Hersh

Hi All,
The other thing we have noticed after booting is, screen is completely blank. GUI is not visible on attached monitor.
We tried switching between different terminals using (Ctl+Alt+F1-12). F2-6 are showing command line terminals but, others are returning blank screen only.
It appears that, there is some problem with GUI/gnome. Is there any way to fix this? Please help.

Ok, so there is a working system and connection.
Question 1: is X running? Question 2: if X is not running, or allegedly running, I would bring the system to init 3, then, as root, run startx. *That* tends to give you more useful info than just trying to figure out what /var/log/Xorg.0.log tells you.

I am not a genius (by any stretch of the imagination :D) .. but I would likely run an fsck on all the filesystem mounts .. I would likely use a LIVE ISO to do that and make sure the hard drive is unmounted.
I would then likely try a GNOME group reinstall like this (as root)
yum reinstall @GNOME gdm
If none of that worked, then I would try reinstalling all the xorg-x11 packages I have installed on the machine.
If that did not work, I would buy a new hard drive, do a new install and then use something like an external case to connect the old drive and copy off any important stuff.
OR .. if I had backup, I would just restore it :D
===
Note, I am sure there are also any number of other things to try. Maybe someone else will opine.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
