I have had some problems gettng VNC to work. I have installed it but when I log on I get a gray screen and no icons or menus, nothing.

I see a few old posts regarding this problem but very little in recent days nothing.


my .vnc/xstartup file is as follows. (Im not sure if there are other files that need changing.)
By the way it refers to .Xresources which does not exist.

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

The default doesnt seem to work either.

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#x-window-manager &
# Fix to make GNOME work
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
/etc/X11/Xsession

I want to use out of the box Kali, I dont want to change Desktops. I find that changing things means things get confusing. for me.

Please advise.

Regards
