`vncserver-start` exits with status 127 - Kali LXQT

When running command vncserver-start on my newly installed Kali LXQT, I get the following stderr:

root@localhost:~# vncserver-start

Maybe try something simple first, e.g.,
        tigervncserver -xstartup /usr/bin/xterm
The X session exited with status 127!

I have tried running the command tigervncserver -xstartup /usr/bin/xterm as recommended, and I could access a CLI via RealVNC. Other than that, I don't know what to do. I'm currently testing Kali and could do a complete reinstall, but would like to know what's happening.
