Here's my ~/.vnc/xstartup file:

---
#!/bin/bash --login
  
if [ -f "$HOME/.Xresources" ]; then
  /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -display $DISPLAY -load "$HOME/.Xresources"
fi
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost +LOCAL:
/usr/bin/gnome-session -display $DISPLAY 2>.xsession-errors &
---

Good luck,

Here's a script that's always worked for me:

---
$HOME/.vnc/xstartup
---

#!/bin/bash --login
 
if [ -f "$HOME/.Xresources" ]; then
  /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -display $DISPLAY -load "$HOME/.Xresources"
fi
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost +LOCAL:
/usr/bin/gnome-session -display $DISPLAY 2>.xsession-errors &

-

Just fire up vncserver and you should be able to connect.

[gentoo-user] vncserver + gnome setup problem

2003-11-09 Thread Shane Bouslough
Hi All,

I'm using a GRP 1.4 install,  and I did an emerge of  tightvnc.

When I start a vncserver session and then connect remotely via a
vnc client, I always get the typical X gray background as if twm
was started.
My ~/.vnc/xstartup file just contains

  #!/bin/sh
  exec /usr/bin/gnome-session &
I've read several of the Gentoo tutorials on setting up vnc, but most
replies seem to show many people still have this same issue.
Any ideas?

-Shane
