Public bug reported: After upgrading to 13.10, TightVNC does not load gnome session - it just shows a terminal window, with no session.
This is my ~/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback.desktop & # gnome-session --session=gdm-session & [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & x-window-manager & This is the xtightvnc log: 21/10/13 11:16:26 Xvnc version TightVNC-1.3.10 21/10/13 11:16:26 Copyright (C) 2000-2009 TightVNC Group 21/10/13 11:16:26 Copyright (C) 1999 AT&T Laboratories Cambridge 21/10/13 11:16:26 All Rights Reserved. 21/10/13 11:16:26 See http://www.tightvnc.com/ for information on TightVNC 21/10/13 11:16:26 Desktop name 'X' (JWMC2:1) 21/10/13 11:16:26 Protocol versions supported: 3.3, 3.7, 3.8, 3.7t, 3.8t 21/10/13 11:16:26 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901 21/10/13 11:16:26 Listening for HTTP connections on TCP port 5801 21/10/13 11:16:26 URL http://JWMC2:5801 No VNC extension on display :1 Option "--login" is no longer supported in this version of gnome-terminal; you might want to create a profile with the desired setting, and use the new '--profile' option Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1".
