Bug Description

Binary package hint: xinit

When running vncserver, the default ~/.vnc/xstartup contains
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

This command fails to run since xinitrc is not executable.
Fix is to `sudo chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc`.

Affects Ubuntu 9.10 & 9.04.

Confirmed in Lucid (development) and in Hardy LTS. I'm wondering if this is intentional and it is a problem with VNC, but we'll let a developer decide that. Thank you for your bug report.

Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
