Hi Jeremiah - are you using the ORBX Cloud Console AMI? If so, you will in fact see a black screen until you load an application into the VM (as stated in the documentation on http://aws.otoy.com/docs). This AMI is intended for developers. If you are looking for a desktop environment to install apps into, please use the Octane Cloud Workstation AMI (Autodesk Edition).

The ORBX Cloud Console AMIs are meant for single app streaming, and are different than the Octane Workstation AMIs (which boot into a user friendly desktop environment). Developers can install their own app on the ORBX Console AMI (in admin mode/RDP if admin rights are needed) and adjust the permissions and environment that best suits the app being streamed.

The URL that connects to the instance can then start up a process by calling START=appname;

You can try using some of the built in shell apps on the AMI as notepad by adding START=notepad.exe; to the URL.

When I type in the following url http://aws.otoy.com/?connect=//<Public DNS>:8090/?NOCRYPTO=1;STATUS=1;AUTOLOCK=0;WAN=12;GUID=<GUID>;START=/usr/bin/glxgears;VSRC=ogl I get a complete blank screen.

I am using a Ubuntu game console. Usually the glxgears should show up in the browser but I get a blank screen. I sshed into the G2 instance and found the following output.

It would be great someone could provide a clue about what is happening here.
