vncserverui popup blocks login fields

[rolf]

I'm using realvnc-server and viewer to remotely access various pi and, in this case, an MGA 7 remote installation from my MGA 7 machine. There is a popup very similar to the attached picture that covers the user/password fields of the login screen when the remote machine boots. There is a delay of several seconds after the login screen appears until the popup appears. A difference is that, instead of the green check, there is a warning that network is not available, which might be the reason this window pops up; I haven't been able to find why. Another difference is that my license is the non-commercial free and that is stated in the window.
The remote machine has realvnc-vnc-server and vnc-server-common installed.
I've googled but can find no report of such an issue, so I thought someone here might have seen it, before.
Thanks.

Mind to share the output as root of

Code: Select all

systemctl status vncserver-virtuald.service -l -n50 from one of the affected boxes?
systemctl cat vncserver-virtuald.service

Feel free to remove any information about users, IP adresses etc.
If realvnc server is started by a different service on your box, e.g. vncserver-x11-serviced.service then you might need to replace that in the above commands.

You might need to override some parts of the systemd service for realvnc to tell it that it should start only after the network is up.

Ok, I was scared off by the unfamiliar complexity of what might be some configuration solution in the various manuals and have a sort of sloppy workaround with autologin. So, it seems to be nicer not to be backed into a corner but I feel a little of the pressure is off making things simple enough for the friend that will be using the laptop.
Here are some infos, thanks:
