I find that I have to log in using SSH and start the vnc server with the following:
Code:
vncserver
which then presents me with something to the effect of:

root@kali:~# vncserver

New 'X' desktop is kali:1

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/kali:1.log
I can then go to TightVNC where I try to log in to 192.168.1.137:5901.

I get the usual unencrypted warnings etc and after typing in the password I get a screen which looks like this:
Capture.jpg

basically a patterned background with a huge cross for a cursor.

Can anyone assist with what is wrong here please.
