What exactly do you have in the /home/user/.vnc/xstartup file
Mine is as follows
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc # X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startxfce4 &
#twm &
Note: The change in the xinitrc to use the xfce4 and the startxfce4 &
So I changed mine to:
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
exec /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
fi
if [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
# exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
exec sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
fi
restarted the vncserver and connected. Now I get a blank black screeen
rather than a blank blue screen...
Do I need xfce installed on my notebook? I only have gnome on it.
