Bug Description
Binary package hint: vncserver
I recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server. I then installed many packages including ubuntu-desktop (and hence related Xorg server) and vncserver.
The vncserver process attempts to open /usr/X11R6/
(this prevents several apps from working, including making xterm unusable with any colour-related config)
The VNC server should be packaged to look in the right place.

I should have specified when I first opened the bug that to fix it I simply copied /usr/lib/
So the file there is in the correct format for Xvnc.
I didn't try any .vncrc tricks to get it working.

By "duplicate" I really meant they are identical. And from the error message it seems it try to open it without luck. I don't understand how it could work for you :)
I think a lot of these problems have been fixed in newer debian packages. They should be backported to dapper. Anyway, I resolved most of my troubles by installing vnc4server instead of vncserver.

There is a duplicate /etc/X11/rgb.txt and /usr/lib/
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/etc/X11/rgb.txt'
Seems like the format is wrong.
Maybe /etc/vnc.conf should set $XFConfigPath = "/etc/X11/
ps. I only get the b/w-patterned X11 background and no clients started in the vnc server.
