User pi has non raspberry password.
Tried with image and still black screen of death!

$ sudo ~/vdesktop/vdesktop
You did not specify what to boot.
Available devices:
PATH MODEL SIZE
/dev/loop0 9.8G
/dev/loop1 9.8G
/dev/loop2 9.8G
/dev/loop3 9.8G
/dev/sdb STORAGE_DEVICE 366.8G
/dev/mmcblk0 366.8G
find: ‘/root/Downloads’: No such file or directory

Boot a .img file: vdesktop /home/pi/2020-08-20-raspios-buster-armhf.img
Boot a usb drive: vdesktop /dev/sda
Boot a directory: vdesktop /home/pi/raspbian-stretch/

A second word specifies the boot mode: cli, cli-login, and gui.

You seem to be having two problems here.

Uhh, did you try minimizing the black window to access the console to login? It should not be too hard.

That looks normal. Vdesktop will not boot anything if you don't tell it to boot anything.

I'm trying to use Pi-Power tools and vdesktop doesn't install.
