As far as I know, the HTTP server is Vino is not used in Ubuntu. So as a workaround, the HTTP server can be disabled by passing the --disable- http-server flag during configuration.
** Patch added: "Patch for debian/rules to disable HTTP server" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/984093/+attachment/4138370/+files/disable-http-server.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984093 Title: vino http server binds to external interfaces despite local_only configuration Status in GNOME Remote Desktop: New Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Environment: Debian Wheezy Vino 3.2.2-1+b1 Vino is configured for local access only via: gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/remote_access/local_only --type bool true Vino's vnc server is only listening on localhost:5900 and no other interfaces - as expected. Vino's http server, though, is listening on all interfaces, despite the local_only configuration. The expected behaviour would be for all vino services, including the http server, to only bind to the localhost interface when configured accordingly.
