I'm running the free distribution of RealVNC 4.1.2. I installed the
Solaris 9 Recommended patch bundle I downloaded on Feb 21, 2007 onto
my Solaris 9 systems last night. This was primarily done to get the
updates for the DST changes. Now, we're having trouble using VNC.
Here's the arguments to my Xvnc process...
ra:~> /usr/ucb/ps auxwwwwww | grep Xvnc | grep swaltner
swaltner 22928 0.1 0.1 8152 6784 pts/27 S 11:24:45 0:00 Xvnc :14
-desktop ra:14 (swaltner) -httpd /soft/cfr/vnc/4.1.2/java -auth /home/
swaltner/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x850 -depth 16 -rfbwait 30000 -
rfbauth /home/swaltner/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5914 -pn -IdleTimeout=0 -
fp /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
swaltner 148 0.0 0.0 1048 840 pts/27 S 11:40:04 0:00 grep Xvnc
ra:~>
When I try to send X11 graphics to that Xvnc process, I get BadAtom
errors.
ra:~> xterm -display ra:14
Warning: Actions not found: string, scroll-back, scroll-forw
xterm: unable to open font "8x10", trying "fixed"....
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty)
Atom id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 90
Current serial number in output stream: 90
ra:~>
Out of the 157 patches in the patch bundle, each system had anywhere
from 85-125 patches that were installed/updated, several of these
were related to X.
The problems seem to come and go, which is the really annoying thing.
This was working perfectly when I went home at midnight last night,
but failed at 8:00. Many users report that trying to start the VNC
session a couple times eventually starts a session.
I've got backup copies of my VNC server log files from before the
upgrade, and while there are several warning/error messages in it,
except for timestamps, they are exactly the same.
Any suggestions on where to look?
Steve
