Package: vnc4server Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-21 Severity: normal
I wanted to use vnc4server for normal desktop sharing, so I uncommented the following two lines in ~/.vnc/xstartup: unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc Starting vncserver results in a permission problem then with /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which can be found in the log-file: ---------------------------------------------------- Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1 - built Feb 26 2007 20:43:44 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.
