Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vnc4server
noticed that even though I uncomment the referred 2 lines and restart
vncserver, when I connect to the vnc session the gnome desktop is not
initiated:
tri...@ptrtbl:~/.vnc$ cat xstartup
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/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" &
twm &
tri...@ptrtbl:~/.vnc$
the reason looks 2 b:
tri...@ptrtbl:~/.vnc$ ls -la /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 226 2008-05-29 13:53 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
tri...@ptrtbl:~/.vnc$ exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
bash: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: Permission denied
bash: exec: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: cannot execute: Success
tri...@ptrtbl:~/.vnc$
changing the startup file like this resolves the problem:
tri...@ptrtbl:~/.vnc$ diff xstartup xstartup.orig
5c5
< . /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
---
> exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
tri...@ptrtbl:~/.vnc$
Default ~/.vnc/xstartup file shall be generated accordingly.
