Hello. I have a problem that's been driving me crazy, and I think I'm not the only one. I'm using Armbian version v25.05.0 for Aml.S905x running Armbian Linux 6.12.19-ophub Debian stable (bookworm), and I managed to install RealVNC Connect, for which I have a license. The problem I'm having, and I can't find a solution, is that by default the GDM3 desktop launcher uses Wayland, and when I connect externally to the server, I only get a black screen with a message saying "the desktop cannot be displayed at this time." I'm using GNOME, and I've tried different desktop environments, but they never work, even after selecting them from the gear icon. It just acts like it's going to launch and then returns to the user's home page. It doesn't matter if I use Xorg; no desktop environment ever loads. Only GNOME and GNOME Classic work. If I modify the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file by deselecting Waylan, I get a black screen and can't even log in. It's a vicious cycle that prevents me from using this server that I like. I've also tried installing other screen launchers like LightDM, but they don't work on my system; the startup process either freezes or I get a black screen. I'm quite desperate. The device where Armbian is installed is an Amlogic TV Box, which is otherwise working perfectly, but this server issue is really frustrating me. Could anyone offer a solution so I can use this server that was working before? Thank you very much.
