I'm having a problems with my VNC server on my linux VPS: I want to connect but when I connect I get a black screen instead of the gnome desktop (I did install this). This is the log file I get:

Xvnc TigerVNC 1.0.90 - built Dec 8 2011 01:43:50 Copyright © 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. Copyright © 2000-2006 Constantin Kaplinsky Copyright © 2004-2009 Peter Astrand for Cendio AB See http://www.tigervnc.org for information on TigerVNC. Underlying X server release 11004000, The X.Org Foundation

Mon Feb 18 00:36:22 2013 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on all interface(s), port 5901 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 expected keysym, got XF86TouchpadOn: line 120 of inet expected keysym, got XF86TouchpadOff: line 121 of inet /root/.vnc/xstartup: line 5: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: No such file or directory /root/.vnc/xstartup: line 5: exec: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: cannot execute: No such file or directory

This is the xstartup I currently use...

!/bin/sh

Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:

unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startx &

Any help please? :S
