Based on a variety of sources, the following conclusions can be drawn about "rdp gray screen" and "vnc gray screen" ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ):

  • The default desktop environment used in the ubuntu distribution ( desktop environment , ab ) is not possible to display either using rdp or vnc .
  • most likely, it will work (perhaps in both cases, or at least in the case of vnc ) de called xfce . which can be installed from the xfce4 package.

Detailed instructions on how to configure vnc to use xfce can be found at the last link mentioned. briefly:

in addition to installing packages, a password, you will need to create a file ~/.vnc/xstartup (and make it executable) of something like this:

 #!/bin/bash xrdb $HOME/.Xresources startxfce4 &
