Cannot see full screen or move windows using Ubuntu VNC Server

harrythelad · 02-19-2019, 11:47 AM

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and have vncserver running.

When I login using TightVNC Client I can see the desktop BUT:

1. I cannot see the full desktop (Cant see left side menu).
2. I cannot move any of the windows around using the mouse.
3. I CAN open folders but the windows appear stuck on the top left of the screen.

My xstartup is as follows:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -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 &

gnome-panel &
gnome-settings-daemon &
metacity &
nautilus &

What setting can I change or what do I do to fix this?

I am working from memory here but at least one of the server/client combinations has a 'scaling' option. I think it is TigerVNC though I don't remember for sure. You might try going through tightvnc's configuration files and see if thee is such an option. If not, try installing Tiger and see if that works.
