    Flat grey screen in vnc4server session

    Hi, I set up kubuntu on a new computer. With an attached display KDE works well. But when I run a vnc4server session all I get is the KDE cursor and a flat grey background, no taskbar at all.

    I made sure that my xstartup file has a line that reads "
    startkde &". Removing that line gives me the same screen but with an X for a cursor rather than the styled KDE cursor. So I believe KDE is starting, but never seems to fully load.

    Any ideas? I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting.

    What version of Kubuntu are you running? 32- or 64-bit installation?

      64-bit, version 16.04. Technically I installed ubuntu server and then installed kubuntu-desktop via apt-get.

          I've seen that article, but looks it only shows instructions for gnome, not for kde. There are a number of links that show solutions for gnome, xfce, lxde, but I haven't found one that addresses kde though.
