Package: xvfb Version: 2:1.7.6-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xvfb-run
The -a option to find free X display number is using "while [ -f /tmp/.X$i-lock ]; do" to increase the $SERVERNUM. When the xvfb-run is run under a different chroot the /tmp is not shared so the xvfb-run fails to find available DISPLAY number. To reproduce run `xvfb-run -a sleep 1000` in a system, than chroot to a different system and run it again. One solution would be to increase the $SERVERNUM everytime the Xvfb fails to run: --- xvfb-run.orig 2010-04-10 12:18:04.000000000 +0000 +++ xvfb-run 2010-04-10 12:01:42.000000000 +0000 @@ -168,6 +168,7 @@ break elif [ -n "$AUTONUM" ]; then # The display is in use so try another one (if '-a' was specified). + SERVERNUM=$(($SERVERNUM + 1)) SERVERNUM=$(find_free_servernum) continue fi Regards, Jozef -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (700, 'stable'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xvfb depends on: ii libaudit0 1.7.13-1+b1 Dynamic library for security audit ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libpixman-1-0 0.16.4-1 pixel-manipulation library for X a ii libselinux1 2.0.89-4 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libudev0 151-3 libudev shared library ii libxau6 1:1.0.5-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxfont1 1:1.4.1-2 X11 font rasterisation library ii xserver-common 2:1.7.6-1 common files used by various X ser Versions of packages xvfb recommends: ii xauth 1:1.0.4-1 X authentication utility xvfb suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
