I use the same...VNC Connect.....

No luck yet.

Don't know what is going wrong. I can't reproduce it. Using the VNC server from the raspbian image works without any issues. Using it headless.
Maybe some other users have an idea
Nickandnora:
OK, I finally noodled this out. I have two inputs to my desktop monitor, so when I set up the pi, I can go back and forth between the console session with hardwire to monitor, keyboard and mouse, and the remote session from my Windows desktop. I could see that when connecting via VNC, the remote session was not identical to the console session I see when on the hardwire connection. So, what I think was happening was that when I first booted the pi, the pi would boot to desktop and auto log on pi as the user. When I then connected via SSH and ran vncserver, a second session would start, that was not the console session, and that was the conflict. I briefly attempted to have the pi boot to cli instead of desktop, but when that didn't immediately work, I set it back to boot to desktop. Instead of connecting via SSH and running vncserver for another session, I instead went directly to my VNC viewer and connected without the :1 at the end of the network address. Voila! it worked. I connected to the console session, now have JRiver auto launch at boot, and I can see and control JRiver.
Wheaten:
Good to hear.
Guess the ":1" you found on internet, as this is not a default setting by VNC viewer?
Nickandnora:
When you connect to the pi remotely via SSH, and then run vncserver from the command line, the vnc server returns the address to use to connect to the session. The :1 was included in the address I was was getting from the server. Not sure exactly where I got it from, since I read through a number of threads to try to solve the problem.
