In addition to having refresh problems with ATI driver as mentionned in LP 57156 vino provides only a way to control an existing session and not to create a new one remotely.
Here is on current feisty a step by step reproducer: 1) update to latest version of vnc4server $ sudo apt-get install vnc4server 2) create a password: $ vncpasswd (enter any password twice) 3) modify the ~/.vnc/xstartup file so vnc starts in full desktop mode (uncomment the first two lines) #unset SESSION_MANAGER #exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 4) run $ vncserver (wait a few seconds, you can tail -f the mentionned log file) 4) with the terminal server client open a VNC connection to localhost:1 (or localhost:X as mentionned in vncserver output) enter the password provided in 2) 5) you don't have a gnome session but just an xterm (and twm if you apt-get install twm) we'd like to be able to launch a gnome-session Note that any other vnc server besides vnc4server would be ok for me if you recommand one. -- vnc4server does not start Desktop environment after security update https://launchpad.net/bugs/78282 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
