Can someone show me a fix for Lubuntu 16.04 running Gnome, I need to run VNC but I'm getting that stupid grey screen on connection to VNC server currently running this ./vnc/xstartup

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup

Answer 1

I know old question but just in case if it helps someone:

I had same issue but i realized that I started with a new xstartup and the file didn't have executable permission on it. So I gave the permission to the file and it was working fine

sudo chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
vncserver -kill :1
vncserver :1
