I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (I think it's desktop...) and running vncserver
to connect to it remotely. I can successfully set the resolution if I use the -geometry
flag when starting the server, but I can't get it to change the default so I don't have to set the flag every time. The manual suggests to use the $HOME/.vnc/xstartup
file so I made the following change:
#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 1400x850 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
As you can see I tried to make the default '1400x850', a resolution which worked just fine when supplied by the command line. I've even tried setting this resolution in some other files which were the solutions on other OS's, but that didn't work either.
This should be a fairly straightforward thing, what is going wrong here? Does it have something to do with desktop versus server edition? Or my X configuration?
1I'm glad you found this, I'm going to use it myself. You'd think that .vncrc would be mentioned in the vncserver man page. – Omnipresence – 2014-10-28T13:32:08.620
