I am running Xvnc4.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04. After I type vncserver, it says
New 'my_host_name:1 Yann' desktop is my_host_name:1, just as usual.
However I could not connect to remote server. The log file says authentification error.

This is confusing, since I did not input password at all, why would it complain about authentification failure? I just input vncserver, it would complain about authentification, I thought it would only do authentification when I tried to connect. The vncserver used to work pretty well. Today I just killed the old session, and plan to get a new port, it complains about authentification error.
At the last of log, it says I am in the blacklist, according to realvnc doc, I have to restart to solve this. Is there any way that I do not need to restart Ubuntu?
Here is my xstartup
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &
By the way, I have root access.
