I have 12.04 LTS installed and I am trying to get VNC to work. I want to be able to connect to existing sessions, and have it start on boot. I followed this guide and have left a comment to try and fix my problems but no dice. I have also tried all solutions I have found on google, including the one here, but I could not get it to work (I am missing something easy I am sure).

When I connect to the VNC session I get a grey screen with three checkboxes:

• Accept clipboard from viewers


• Send clipboard to viewers


• Send primary selection to viewers

Here is my xstartup:

#!/bin/sh



# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:

unset SESSION_MANAGER

# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

gnome-session -session=gnome-classic &



[ -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 &

I have also edited my to include:

/usr/bin/vncserver -geometry 1024x768

It does not start on boot, but when I run the command it starts, but I get the grey screen.
