Re: oh no something is definitly wrong adieu debian.
Hi Zeenan,
I have streamlined the problems as follow, anybody with little HW
resource and time can reporduce it.
1) Have a workable host running vbox
2) do a regular wheezy .iso netinstall in a guest (I used amd64 wheezy)
3) Log in and check all works well (generally it did) (you may log
classic or regular)
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.1 (wheezy)
Release: 7.1
Codename: wheezy
4) apt-get install vnc4server
5) $ vncserver -geometry 1000x1000
6) $ vncserver kill :1
At this point you have .vnc/passwd setup ok and xstartup to fix
7) place this into.vnc/ xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -solid grey
/usr/bin/gnome-session& (here you may do gnome-session-fallback)
8) on another system do vncviewer node:1
At this point you are in a brand new workspace
9) win+alt+right-click on the top-panel bar (out of any tabs, middle of nothing)
It show the custom popup
[add to panel...]
[Properties]
[Delete this panel]
....
click Properties, then [background] tab
click [x] Solid color
Kaboom, you never use this account again
Well you can, from console
vncserver -kill :1
rm -rf ./.config
You can retry again and again until fixed :-)
Cheers,
Phi
