This problem was affecting me, also. It seems that gdm kills all clients immediately upon logging in, which effectively snuffs the x11vnc server, also. I have resolved this problem, however, by downloading the latest stable release (0.9.12) of x11vnc (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/) and building it from source. The latest version of x11vnc attempts to reopen after gdm kills all connected clients. The version currently in the repo does not.
It would seem that the gdm option "KillInitClients=false" is no longer supported, which would have been a viable workaround for this issue. -- gdm with x11vnc not honoring KillInitClients https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217892 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
