From: Andrew Lapham on 9 May 2010 15:50 Hello all. I'm new to debian (2 days) but have been using Linux for a while. Anyway my problem is with Vnc4server. Yesterday I set up my /home/.Vnc/xstartup to include gnome session and I commented terminal emulator. And I remoted in no problem (I forget if I used vnvserver or Vnc4server) Today I turned on the pc and ran the server and all I get is a grey screen and a mouse. I tried vncserver and Vnc4server. Any ideas? (Sorry for the case/spelling errors this was composed on my phone..)

If you closed your vnc session by *logging out*, what happens is that your session (gnome) is no longer active, but vnc is not concerned. The workaround that was suggested to me is to *not* have vncstartup exec the session, but rather launch a session and cleanup afterwards, ie # wrong #exec gnome-session # right gnome-session vncserver -kill $DISPLAY If you grok the shell you'll probably use the trap command to make sure that cleanup is done no matter what, but that's just a detail good luck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
