Where do you find "~/.vnc/xstartup"? I have looked but cannot find it.

Thanks

THE desktop of the console cannot be captured (with vnc). There are 2
general routes to get a desktop on your vncviewer window:

Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to start a window manager. By default `twm` is
started, this can be changed to any other window manager or desktop
manager.

The other option is to setup a vnc-login construction as on
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. This will give
you about the same session as at the console.

Success
