Now I'm not fully sure I understand. Do you mean that this is a fault in any way? Isn't it quite obvious that if you alter the script in a way that it execute /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (which will not terminate) that the rest of the code will not execute? Or do you mean that vncconfig should be before this line in the default? // Ola > #!/bin/bash > > # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: > unset SESSION_MANAGER > exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc > # > # Statements below never get executed > # > [ -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 & > > I've been running vncserver for a couple of years and just > noticed this is why I could never get clipboard access to work > even though the options in the viewer (F8) have all the items > pertaining to clipboard checked.
