Problem: If you install vnc4server and open a ssh tunnel session to
you Lucid Lynx Server you can’t press little key “m” cause it highlights
taskbar indicator applet!
Solution1:
1. edit /home/username/.vnc/xstartup
2. add lines:
#!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -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 & #gnome-session & (disable gnome opens only Screen with a Xterm)
3.save xstartup
4.restart vncserver
#vncserver -kill :1 and then vncserver -geometry 800x600 -depth 16this will open vnc with xterm here you can start firefox inside xterminal
#firefox &.
Solution2: Try update the server cause the indicator-applet gets a new release
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
Solution3: Install jwm windowmanager, and replace at .vnc/xstartup the line
x-window-manager & to jwm &
