how to get desktop icons show in VNC on ubuntu11.10
 

hi all:
I install ubuntu 11.10 on my target machine with vnc4server.
When I use vnc client to connect to this machine, I cannot see my desktop.

in ubuntu 11.04, I type "gnome-session &" in my xstartup.
but I know since 11.10, unity replace gnome as the window manager.

Is there any specific setting I should add in my xstartup?
if not, how can I let gnome running on when vncserver started?


Thanks in advance,

I use vnc4server, so I cannot say if it works for tightvnc or others...

If you navigate to '/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/' you will see some
or all of these sessions:

gdm.session
gnome-classic.session
gnome-fallback.session
gnome.session
ubuntu-2d.session
ubuntu.session

You can use any one of them as your desktop. 'ubuntu.session' and '
ubuntu-2d.session' are Unity. The others are a basic gnome desktop.

To use one, you don't type in the '.session' part of the name. For example,
' gnome-classic.session' becomes ' gnome-classic'.

When you change your startup file, be sure to log in with ssh and restart
vncserver. I don't like Unity, so here is my xstartup:


#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-classic

[ -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 &

as you explained to me
There will be below sessions:
gdm.session
gnome-classic.session
gnome-fallback.session
gnome.session
ubuntu-2d.session
ubuntu.session

so the format of execution will be if I
/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-classic
/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback
/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome
the name of session that remove ".session"?
