I am using:
To connect remote desktop of my Ubuntu machine on windows azure [Ubuntu 13.10]. I have installed desktop and get the result of the command vncserver -geometry 1440x900 like below:
New 'paulubuntu:1(azureuser)' desktop is paulubuntu:1
Starting applications specified in /home/azureuser/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/azureuser/.vnc/paulubuntu:1.log
and then open the the vncviewer, enter my password correctly, the only screen display to me is a gray screen with the following 3 lines in it:
Is there some issue to display my desktop? I am newbie to Linux system, any idea would be appreciated.
If you want to connect to "your desktop" via VNC, you should probably use the default 'Desktop Sharing' application (vino-server) that is provided as part of the ubuntu-desktop package, rather than a separate vncserver session. You can configure it by entering 'Desktop Sharing' in the dash search, or from the command line by running vino-preferences.
Standalone vncservers (such as vnc4server and tightvncserver) use their own session startup file located at $HOME/.vnc/xstartup, and the default file that ships with the package just starts a simple X terminal window on a plain gray root window (which is probably what you're seeing).
You can find a sample $HOME/.vnc/xstartup file in the Ubuntu Community Help Wiki at VNC/Servers - Customizing your session which you can copy and edit to start your chosen desktop session - which must sorrespond to one of the available .desktop files in your /usr/share/xsessions directory. Note that the ubuntu-2d session referred to in the Wiki is no longer available in 13.10.
