I figured out the problem. Setting the "System/Preferences/Remote Desktop" menu item such that your computer listens for remote desktop connections starts vino.
If you save a session including vino, x-session-manager will keep trying to spawn that over and over, failing because vino is already running. SO... Problem solved: look at the parent of the respawning vino processes: It ain't the original vino process. For me, it was x-session-manager. A solution would be to go to your ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session, grep for "vino", and delete any files with that string. Restart X. -- vino-server child processes die and respawn rapidly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
