VNC Setting to Connect to Ubuntu Server with LXQt Desktop

  • 772

I have installed LXQt on Ubuntu Server. I can connect to it with XRDP just fine.

Then I tried to setup TigerVNC. This fails and results in a desktop that does not respond properly. For example, I cannot open the file manager but terminal opens fine.

This is the xstartup file content:

#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startlxqt &

Am I missing something in the xstartup file?

vnc remote-desktop lxqt

    This solution seems to work and provide similar desktop as xrdp.

    Create ~/.vnc/xstartup file and paste the following content.

    #!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
exec openbox-session &
startlxqt &
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
