I have a home server running Ubuntu Gnome 16.10. I installed the Desktop Environment to have a nicer way to configure my server, I chose Gnome because of it is lightweight enough and has the Google drive integration for backup (somewhat).
I would like to access through VNC and have the same interface. I am talking about this one.
I got my VNC configured and my ~/.vnc/xstartup
looks like :
#!/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-session & #this line has been added based on some comments found online, but no effect whatsoever.
gnome-panel &
gnome-settings-daemon &
metacity &
nautilus &
I can perfectly connect from my Windows machine using Putty and a SSH tunnel like explained here, but the outlook is not at all what I would desire. it is like that :
and if I uncomment the 2 lines at the top of the file, I get that
What am I doing wrong?
