  vncserver -kill :1
  mv ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup.bak

  vim ~/.vnc/xstartup
  #!/bin/bash
  xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
  startxfce4 &

  chmod +x ~/.vnc/startup

• Thank you so much Sir. I finally found a way to acces ubuntu dekstop gui in an orange pi zero armbian bionic server. Thank you!!! 🙂

• root

• lsb_release -a; hostname – I; hostname; getconf LONG_BIT
  vncserver
  vncserver -kill :1
  mv ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup.bak
  nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
  #!/bin/bash
  xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
  startxfce4 &
  chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
  vncserver

• These commands worked for me BUT what if I want to VNC into my normal gnome desktop? using these commands only allows me to use xfce4. So would i have to just type "apt-get install gnome gnome-* vncserver -y" to get the gnome desktop for the vncserver?

• It works here, thanks a lot for the great vídeo.

• This didn't work for me, just get a gray screen

• apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-* vnc4server -y
  vncserver
  vncserver -kill :1

  nano ~/.vnc/xstartup

  #!/bin/sh

  xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
  xsetroot -solid grey
  # fix to make xfce work:
  startxfce4 &

  chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
  sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

  vncserver

• It would have been better if you would have added commands in the description.
