VNC GUI

Post by frostbyte » Sat Feb 11, 2006 9:25 pm

Hey guys, I have a quick question for you that should be pretty easy. I setup VNC on my ubuntu box, and I want my GUI when I VNC to it to be XFCE instead of...well whatever that green looking thing is. How do I do that?

Thanks guys

I havn't tested it yet but try editing $HOME/.vnc/xstartup and change "twm &" to startup XFCE. (not sure what command that it)
