Troubleshooting • tightvnc server shows gray/grey screen with + cursor

I'm running bookworm on a RPi 4b. Just this morning I was working with the system, having ssh'ed and vnc'ed using tightvnc into the pi via my mac. Everything was running fine until I saw that there were "updates" available for the pi OS (yes, I know I'm late in getting them). Ran the update using the appropriate apt-get commands, rebooted the pi and everything seemed to work ok, that is, until I tried to vnc into it. Now all it shows is a gray/grey screen with a + cursor. I've googled and have found many that have had this problem, but no one seems to have a good fix for it. I've deleted and reinstalled tightvnc several times, with no change. Wiping and re-imaging the SDI card is not an option right now.

This is the second time I've had issues after an update, getting sick of it.

I just can't figure it out.

Here's what my xstartup file looks like

Code:

b2400@b2400:~/.vnc $ cat xstartup#!/bin/shxrdb "$HOME/.Xresources"xsetroot -solid grey#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &#x-window-manager &# Fix to make GNOME workexport XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1/etc/X11/Xsession
Here's a picture of the lovely screen.

Thanks for advance for your help.
