Hello, As you know, the problem occurred while the remote headless computer was set to automatically login into an xfce session. When I tried to connect with vnc to what I thought was a gnome session, it did not connect, unless a nx gnome session was also running, in which case the image in the vnc client was not clear.
Somehow I managed to make the remote headless computer automatically login into a gnome session and the problem does not occur anymore. Unfortunately I don't know how I can make the remote headless computer automatically login into the xfce session. I tried forwarding gdmsetup by ssh -Y, but the changes that I make in the forwarded "Login Window", particularly the Default Session popup, seem not to be effective when it automatically logs in. Could you please tell me how I can make it automatically boot into an xfce session, so that I can try to reproduce the problem and give you the output you asked for. francesco -- [apport] vino-server crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_class_cast() https://launchpad.net/bugs/91973 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
