it not start on boot, when run command starts, grey screen.

appreciated. thank you!!

have tried setting session name ubuntu-2d? think maybe

code:
gnome-session -session=gnome-classic
is not recognized current session name - afaik name specify here has correspond actual .session file in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions, on 12.04 system appear gnome.session, ubuntu-2d.session or ubuntu.session

fyi there's specimen .vnc/xstartup file here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/vnc/servers

in experience need 2d session because compiz breaks things otherwise - in case may defaulting 3d / compiz session why dead gray screen
