blank screen in vnc
I upgraded the office server using apt dist-upgrade
earlier on, but when I tried to load up my beautiful KDE3.5-alpha desktop via VNC, all I got was a blank screen.
After a bit of work trying to find out what was going on, I finally noticed that the permissions on ~/.vnc/xstartup
were rw-rw-rw-
, and there was a “permission denied” message in the log.
So, to solve this, simply chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
, and everything should run fine.
Did that still get the blank X window.
Jeff, if I remember correctly, the
chmod
did the trick. In fact, I’ve had to do the same thing a few times when upgrading different machines.
