TightVNC on Debian using Gnome - Grey Screen


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hi,

I am running my first Linux server and I am a total newbie. I have followed different tutorials and I have now the server running.

I have installed gnome / tightvnc and I am able to connect using the viewer. But when I am connected I only see the default screen.

I have tried different xstartup configuration + vnc.conf files but there is nothing that changes the result. I now succesfully launch the xstartup file and the last result is:

Quote:
sh: /home/.vnc/xstartup: /bin/shxrdb: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
The content of xstartup is:

Quote:
#!/bin/shxrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
# x-window-manager &
gnome-session &
The content of vnc.conf is:

Quote:
$vncStartup = "/home/.vnc/xstartup";
$xauthorityFile = "$ENV{HOME}/.Xauthority";
$geometry = "1024x768";
$pixelformat = "rgb656";
The last thing is that I have installed all the required fonts (75dpi and 100dpi as per some tuorials but I also have the following message:

Quote:
Font directory '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/' not found - ignoring
Font directory '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/' not found - ignoring
I have been through many google search and I always find the same type of information but nothing that clearly says what to setup. If anyone as a minute to spare, I would really apprieciate.

Best regards, Sebastien.

I ended up with this same problem not to long ago on a production box. our other administrator was able to resolve it, unfortunately it was his last shit and he had nothing in the logs recording the solution. I am curious to this as well if any one has a resolution.
