Hello guys,

1) I have installed KDE successfully over my Debian Wheezy system (openVZ Virtual Machine), following this tutorial:
https://wiki.debian.org/KDE

2) I installed "vnc4server" and created the following startup script in my .vnc/xstartup file:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# Load X resources (if any)
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xresources" ]
then
        xrdb "$HOME/.Xresources"
fi

startkde &


3) I ran the VNC server, using:

Code: Select all

vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 32 :1

4) This is what I see while logging into VNC:

It seems the KDE application is working, but something is wrong with the graphics.
Any idea, why do I see those weird colors?

Many thanks!

Update:

Attached below the log file of the VNC process too:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/800 ... host_1.log
It has many errors and may give you an idea.

I'd like to emphasize that the Debian server is a virtual machine that runs under OpenVZ virtualization.

Thank you for your time!

VNCSConnST: Client pixel format depth 24 (32bpp) little-endian rgb888

Try whether

Code: Select all

vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 :1


works out "of the box", otherwise try defining the pixelformat as well (consult the vncserver manpage on the exact switch)

This worked perfectly.

Code: Select all

vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 :1

It seems that -depth 32 was way too much

Thank you very much!
