TigerVNC won't start on Fedora 14

[glmarsh]

I have TigerVNC installed on Fedora 14 and when I boot up I get the following message in the log file in the ~/.vnc directory :

Tue Nov 30 21:29:00 2010
vncext: VNC extension running!
vncext: Listening for VNC connections on all interface(s), port 5901
vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on all interface(s), port 5801
vncext: created VNC server for screen 0
sh: /home/gary/.vnc/xstartup: /bash/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

my xstartup permissions look like this :

-rwx------. 1 gary gary 367 Dec 1 10:28 .vnc/xstartup

my xstatup file looks like this :

#!/bin/sh

# Run any global xstartup file for the system
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup

# Run any .Xresources file for the user account
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

# Start the vncconfig helper
# This allows clipboard transfers and control of the desktop
vncconfig -iconic &

# Start a GNOME desktop
exec gnome-session &

The interesting thing is that if I run TigerVNC Viewer I actually get accesses to the TigerVNC server.

Does anyone know what is wrong with this setup?

Thanks

Does /bin/sh exist?

Looks like, assuming you cut and pasted, a mistype in the config file. The first line of .vnc/xstartup should be /bin/sh not /bash/sh

Oops, misread---sorry.

Thankfully, the thread labelled

Every Server Setup Imaginable: SMB, SSH, VPN, VNC, HTTPD (+ PHP), MySQL, More!

gives an alternative to using vncserver. Instead he uses xinetd and it seems to work without the problems that nvcserver has.
