Q: Grey background in vncviewer remote desktop

I keep getting a grey background in my VNC viewer on my VPS, like so: My .vnc/xstartup is as follows: #!/bin/sh 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...

Braiam

What are you expecting to see, a console?

Someone

No, a desktop. I get a background.

Braiam

A new session or the current session of X? You might want to read this question on Super User, superuser.com/q/326638/235569

Someone

According to that, all users logged in get their own desktop. I just want to see a desktop interface.

Braiam

OK, then lets set things straight. You went from work to home and wants to continue the same work (without the need of starting all the applications again) in your house, that?

No. I just want to be able to dick around on the server in case a proxy is blocking a site i'm on.

Hello

Are you there?

Braiam

That still don't answer my question, you want a preexisting session or a new one with login screen and everything?

Someone

Just a new one

Where I can connect with the VNC Viewer

Enter my password

And see a desktop
