Only Terminal windows appear on TightVNC
I use ubuntu server provided by amazon ec2. I want gui so that i install ubuntu-desktop on server and edit xstartup. But when i connect to my server through TightVNC it shows only terminal windows. Here is the .vnc/xstartup:
#!/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 $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &
14.04 amazon-ec2 tightvncserver

The solution is in the file itself:
# Uncomment the following TWO (2) lines for normal desktop:
However, in your config, only the first line is uncommented. The xinitrc sript is skipped, because it is still commented.
Uncomment this line, and you should be fine. Without it, starting a gnome-session is futile.
