Charles Twardy 's suggestion above was part of the solution for me: 1. In /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf Find the [xdmcp] section in the file, set: Enable=True
2. In /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc Change: /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc To: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc 3. sudo killall Xvnc 4. sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart and voila, the session comes up fine. I had all the reported errors in this bug: First, vnc4server threw "Transport endpoint is not connected" in syslog - step 1 took care of that. Then Xvnc did not start any longer in desktop environment mode, only the gray screen with the "X" mouse pointer appeared. Step 2 took care of that. -- vnc4server does not start Desktop environment after security update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
