Package: xvncviewer
Version: 3.3.7-12
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
After using pump, xvncviewer no longer works (with a local server).
All the unsaved data in the current X session are lost. Moreover,
I can restart the VNC server and xvncviewer, and all the processes
are running, but the VNC viewer doesn't display anything.
Note: the eth1 address has changed (as expected), but lo is still up:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:671939 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:671939 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:1844990014 (1.7 GiB) TX bytes:1844990014 (1.7 GiB)
Xfree86 without VNC works normally.
Currently I can't investigate more deeply. I'll try later to see if
rebooting the machine makes xvncviewer work again or if the problem
was due to a system upgrade.

I now see the problem. I start the server and the viewer with the
following script:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
display=`vncserver -alwaysshared 2>&1 | \
sed -n "s/New 'X' desktop is \(.*\)/\\1/p"`
echo "Display is $display"
startx $HOME/.xinitrc -vnc -fullscreen $display
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the viewer using $display to connect to the VNC server.
The problem is that $display contains ay.vinc17.org:1, ay.vinc17.org
being the FQDN of the machine, and after using pump (more precisely,
"pump -i eth1"), the IP address of eth1 changes (the machine is a laptop
which moved to a different network). As ay.vinc17.org resolves (using
/etc/hosts) to the original IP address associated with eth1, connections
to ay.vinc17.org fail.
Of course, the real problem is related to pump (it updates
/etc/resolv.conf, but not /etc/hosts -- I should probably
use a wrapper).
Anyway I've just changed my script to remove what is before the ":" in
$display, so that the ethernet device is no longer use for the local
connection.
