Title:
gdm with x11vnc not honoring KillInitClients
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “libvncserver” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gdm
I have been starting x11vnc from within /etc/gdm/Init/Default for
sometime now. After re-building my machine, going from Gutsy i386 to
Hardy Beta amd64 my x11vnc no longer continues to run post login.
Versions:
gdm 2.20.5-0ubuntu2
x11vnc 0.9.3.dfsg.1-1ubuntu1
What I have done:
edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, in the [daemon] section, set KillInitClients=false
edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default, added "/etc/init.d/x11vnc start" at the top
before the gdmwhich function.
My /etc/init.d/x11vnc file executes using these environment variables:
NAME=x11vnc
DAEMON=/usr/bin/x11vnc
PIDFILE="/var/run/$NAME.pid"
AUTHFILE="/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth"
LOGFILE="/var/log/$NAME.log"
VNCUSERS="`/bin/sed -n '/gdmauth/s/^.*://p' /etc/group | /bin/sed 's/,/,+/' |
/bin/sed 's/^/+/'`"
RFBAUTH="/etc/vnc/passwd"
X11VNC_ARGS="-forever -xrandr -bg -nobell -auth $AUTHFILE -usepw -rfbauth
$RFBAUTH -o $LOGFILE -input KMBCF -noxdamage -display :0.0"
x11vnc is started fine on start of gdm, but the process is terminated
when I log in.
In the x11vnc.log file I see this when I log in:
caught XIO error:
15/04/2008 14:12:17 deleted 50 tile_row polling images.
So possibly this is a bug in x11vnc and not gdm, but I do not know.
What other information can I provide?
Thanks.
