[Bug 1589658] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 The AlwaysShared option for lightdm does not work.
If you want multiple connections to an existing session using LightDM, then you need to run a VNC server inside that sesion (e.g. Vino). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589658 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 The AlwaysShared option for lightdm does not work.

[Bug 1589658] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 The AlwaysShared option for lightdm does not work.
When you run Xvnc on its own, it allows n clients to connect to it. When LightDM runs it, it listens on the VNC port, and spawns an Xvnc for each connection (using the -inetd flag). In this way, there is only one connection per Xvnc instance. So the connections are unshareable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589658 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 The AlwaysShared option for lightdm does not work.

I use a vncserver on Red Hat and Suse dirstributions where I am able to share a session using the option alwaysshared. The alwaysshared option is to always treat incoming connections as shared, regardless of the client-specified setting (default is off). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589658 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 The AlwaysShared option for lightdm does not work.

What did you expect to happen? You can do two remote logins to the same session? ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589658 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 The AlwaysShared option for lightdm does not work.

Note that LightDM actually handles the VNC connections - so this would never work.
