Public bug reported:
in the xstartup file that is created for users (~/.vnc/xstartup) it
implies that:
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
#unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
however this does not work. /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is not executable
and thus exec fails due to permission denied. thus the rest of
the xstartup fails and no session is created.
This should be fixed. NOTE: this is NOT related to my previous bug
report. I have tried xstartup both with this uncommented (which
has generated this bug due to either xinitrc having wrong permmissions
or xstartup suggesting impossible options) and with it in its default
(commented) state which causes the different failure reported as an
independent bug.
(Frankly I think vnc4server is so poorly designed, configured and
integrated into 10.04 Server that the whole package should be
marked as a "bug". None of the documentation I ran across was
of any use getting it working. exec permissions are wrong, it's gnome
centric, it cannot be started as a boot service, font paths are
incorrect, etc.)
