TightVNC Server on Ubuntu 18.04

[stephenstark]

I am attempting to get TightVNC Server running on a headless Ubuntu 18.04 machine running the Unity desktop. I am able to login using VNCViewer, but each time I get a blank Unity desktop and cannot right-click or launch anything. Here is a copy of my current xstartup file:

#!/bin/sh
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="GNOME-Flashback:Unity"
export XDG_MENU_PREFIX="gnome-flashback-"
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
gnome-panel &
gnome-flashback &
unity-settings-daemon &
metacity &
nautilus &

What am I missing?

Thanks.

What are you wanting to do on the remote system? There may be a sleeker solution to what you want to achieve which means that VNC simply isn't needed

This guide can help with VNC but just because you want to use a remote system in some way doesn't mean you should automatically grab VNC.

It's not always the best solution
