[SOLVED] Black screen in VNC at startup

[agent_kith]

Hi,
I'm trying to install snakeoil on a asrock z97e-itx board with a i3 cpu (this one: ftp://europe.asrock.com/Manual/Z97E-ITXac.pdf ).
It boots up from the 0.9.1 iso, but in the end I end up with a black screen in VNC. If I hit F8, it shows a desktop for a second, minimizing vnc shows a normal empty ubuntu desktop with a start button. So it seems everything is running as supposed only vnc screwing things up. The webinterface is also up, I can configure things etc.
How do I install snakeoil to my connected ssd, I tried from the desktop with the minimized vnc interface the install snakeoil command from the menu but that didn't work either.
Or even better how do I get vnc to show me a desktop?

Regards,
Edwin.

Interesting. Seems the automated startup isn't working for some reason, or is taking a long time. How long did you wait - it shouldn't take more than 3 minutes. Is the mouse cursor type "sand clock" or pointer?

If nothing loads up in 3 minutes, go to the Ubuntu desktop, right click with your mouse and a menu should pop up. Select the item "Terminal". You should see a shell pop up. Then type in these:

Code:

sudo ubiquity

Any error messages?
