Hello all,
I am as my name says a newbie to Linux. I found this forum and decided to make a Linux media server. I have installed Ubuntu Server 14 as per the guide. When i get to the VNC stage, tightVNC displays a grey screen and nothing seems to work. Can anyone help? Please bear in mind that i am new to this and i am in need of simple answers.
Cheers

Re: VNC - Blank Gery Screen
Hi there and welcome to the forums.
I've just run through my guide using a new copy of 14.04 and it works as expected. Are you sure you edited the ".vnc/xstartup" statup script as per the guide?
If you'd like me to take a look at it please issue the following command and send me the output:
Thanks.
Ian.

Re: VNC - Blank Gery Screen
Hello,
I also am experiencing the grey screen. I edited the file as stated for the 14.04 version. I think the trouble is that I am using 15.10 version of ubuntu, do you have the editing for the vncserver file for this version?
Thank in advance.
till then, switching back to 14.04
