While executing vncserver command getting below output but, no port is listing while trying vncserver -list command.

[user1@localhost ~]$ vncserver 
New 'localhost.localdomain:55 (user1)' desktop is localhost.localdomain:55
Starting applications specified in /home/user1/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/user1/.vnc/localhost.localdomain:55.log

[user1@localhost ~]$ vncserver -list

TigerVNC server sessions:

X DISPLAY # PROCESS ID
[user1@localhost ~]$

Log says that it is killing newly created port:

[user1@localhost ~]$ cat /home/user1/.vnc/localhost.localdomain:56.log

xstartup file under ~/vnc folder is shown below

[user1@localhost ~]$ cat ~/.vnc/xstartup 
#!/bin/sh

unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
# Assume either Gnome or KDE will be started by default when installed
# We want to kill the session automatically in this case when user logs out. In case you modify
# /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients or ~/.Xclients yourself to achieve a different result, then you should
# be responsible to modify below code to avoid that your session will be automatically killed
if [ -e /usr/bin/gnome-session -o -e /usr/bin/startkde ]; then
    vncserver -kill $DISPLAY
fi

My Observation: If I comment vncserver -kill $DISPLAY in xstartup file, port is not getting killed. But while connecting via VNC Viewer it shows black screen.

TigerVNC server installed in CentOS 7 will try two desktop servers:

  1. gnome-classic-session
  2. KDE

Gnome is usually preinstalled in your system, but not the classic desktop. However, VNC log will not notice you the lack of this component. You may try to yum install gnome-classic-session and re-run your vncserver, see if the problem remains.
