Package: tightvncserver Version: 1.3.9-6.1+b1 Severity: normal
Xtightvnc/tightvncserver creates a broken socket under /tmp/.X11-unix/ It should create /tmp/.X11-unix/X<displaynumber> Example vncserver :10 Should create /tmp/.X11-unix/X10 However it creates /tmp/.X11-unix/X1 vncserver :19 creates X1 vncserver :99 creates X9 vncserver :100 creates X10 And so on. Thet socket /tmp/.X11-unix/X<displaynumber> is also never removed. This creates a bug when using displaynumbers 1-0,10-19,20-29 and so on. Makes restarting of Xtightvnc with the same displaynumber impossible. Example $ vncserver :11 New 'X' desktop is freedeb:11 Starting applications specified in /home/cryptr/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/cryptr/.vnc/freedeb:11.log $ ls /tmp/.X11-unix/ X1 $ vncserver -kill :11 $ ls /tmp/.X11-unix/ X1 $ vncserver :11 Couldn't start Xtightvnc; trying default font path. Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script. Couldn't start Xtightvnc process. _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running $ Workaround (ugly but works): rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X* vncserver :11 I could not find anything in the tightvncserver script that removed or created the sockets so I assume it is in Xtightvnc. /Lars -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i686) Kernel: kFreeBSD 8.1-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tightvncserver depends on: ii libc0.1 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii perl 5.10.1-15 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii x11-common 1:7.5+7 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii x11-utils 7.5+4 X11 utilities ii xauth 1:1.0.4-1 X authentication utility ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tightvncserver recommends: ii x11-xserver-utils 7.5+2 X server utilities ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.1 standard fonts for X Versions of packages tightvncserver suggests: pn tightvnc-java <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
