Lubuntu 14.04 + TightVNC: remote mouse cursor is "X"
After researching into each command used in my xstartup
file and the options available, I found the solution to be adding the following parameters to xsetroot
:
-cursor_name left_ptr
So, my xstartup
file now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey -cursor_name left_ptr
autocutsel -fork
lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE

I am connecting from my Windows 7 machine to my Lubuntu 14.04 server using TightVNC. Everything is working as expected except the remote mouse cursor only displays as an "X".
My
./vnc/xstartup
file is configured as follows:#!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey autocutsel -fork lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
and to set up TightVNC on the server, I installed the following packages:
- lubuntu-desktop
- tightvncserver
- autocutsel
Do I need to install a package to get the remote mouse cursor to show up correcting when using TightVNC? Do I need to add a command to my
xstartup
file?
