Ugly desktop when using VNC
- Inicie sesión ou rexístrese para enviar comentarios
This is what my Trisquel server looks like when I access it through VNC using the Remmina client:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/b974ec206949604
The VNC server is launched with the following command:
vncserver :1 -geometry 800x600
Using the -depth flag, with different values, as in "vncserver :1 -geometry 800x600 -depth 24", doesn't seem to help. Changing the resolution to 1024x1080 doesn't help either.
Here's the content of .vnc/xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
gnome-session --session=gnome-classic &
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
Any help appreciated!
While I have never used vnc it looks a problem with themes. Do both computers have the same themes installed or even in use?
Both computers basically have the same install (Brigantia)... I did manage however to get a nice looking LXDE desktop by following those instructions:
I don't think I have the energy to dig further now that I have something functional and nice-looking... I am also getting increasingly annoyed at GNOME in general, so LXDE for this purpose is fine with me. I'm also playing with Triskel (the Trisquel KDE edition) on my main box in order to see if it could be a replacement for the main GNOME edition (I'm a sucker for desktop effects - wobbly windows, stuff like that... lol). KDE has its quirks, but KDE4 seems like a sane project with a clear vision when you compare to the mess that is GNOME3.
That's strange; I use vnc very frequently (it's practical and I'm lazy :)), specifically through Remmina since I found about this project and have never faced this problem. Configuration of the desktop on the client side shouldn't matter at all, and in the server side, I must confess I've always just configured it using the link in System/Preferences/Remote Desktop (vino-preferences), so vinoserver just works; of course, if trying to set-up access to a headless machine this is a little less practical, but even in that case, maybe you should give it a try (with ssh -X if needed).

I have to ask where is this Triskel edition? I did a quick search on the web and nothing turns up. I also didn't see it on the download page.
Well maybe edition is not the right term, since it's not downloadable and not really branded either. There are two meta-packages that you can install in order to have a KDE desktop on Trisquel:
- triskel
- triskel-recommended
