tightvnc+X problems


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
hello there. iam running my linux box as a remote server.
here is when i start the program:
aristosibm@debian:~$ vncserver

New 'X' desktop is debian:2

Starting applications specified in /home/aristosibm/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/aristosibm/.vnc/debian:2.log

aristosibm@debian:~$

but when i connect from the client(windows) all i see is a grey screen. here is the xstartup:
#!/bin/sh

# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

startkde


So what am i doing wrong?

you're leaving this line in.... "exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" comment that out and then kde should load.
