Bare Openbox rendered only a blank slate root — usable but not the desktop wanted. Make the X11/NVENC capture path render a full GNOME session by default, with Openbox available via HEADLESS_DESKTOP=openbox for minimal/low-power hosts. - files/headless-desktop-gnome.service: full Ubuntu GNOME session forced onto the X11 path (XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11, no dbus-run-session so it shares the systemd user bus). Renamed the Openbox unit to headless-desktop-openbox.service. - lib/headless.sh: HEADLESS_DESKTOP (default gnome) selects the unit template + the packages to install (gnome-session/gnome-shell vs openbox/xsetroot). - install.sh: step message + usage document HEADLESS_DESKTOP. - status.sh: the :0 desktop check now reports which desktop is running (reads _NET_WM_NAME off the supporting-wm-check window, e.g. "GNOME Shell"). - docs: TROUBLESHOOTING §13 + FOLLOWUPS P3 updated for the GNOME default and the openbox toggle.

Description=Openbox session on the headless Xorg (gives Sunshine something to capture)
|
|
# Without a window manager/desktop running on :0, Sunshine's x11 capture grabs
|
|
# an empty black X root window — pairing, NVENC, and input all work but the
|
|
# client sees only black. This unit renders a session onto :0 so the stream
|
|
# shows an actual desktop. Only relevant to the X11/NVENC capture backend
|
|
# (capture = x11); the wlr backend's compositor renders for itself.
