Yes, as long as you run the VNC Server on all of the computers you need to 
connect to.

3.1-rc9: Xvnc segmentation fault/coredump

2011-10-10 Thread Justin Piszcz

Hello,

Summary: vncserver crashes with 3.1-rc9 when launching 
thunderbird and chrome (usually reproducible)


Problem: With 3.1-rc9 -- vncserver (both vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux) and the 
package in Debian: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-37 both core dump under 3.1-rc9 when I 
launch a couple of applications, thunderbird and chrome, these 
applications were also upgraded around the time I went to 3.1-rc9 so I 
cannot be certain which is causing the crashes.  I cannot change the 
kernel for a while, machine is in production now; however, I have been
following the 3.1-rc's for awhile and all were OK (ran -rc8) for 
the longest until -rc9.  There appears to be no quick/fast 
debug package available for vncserver; however, I will show/describe it as 
best as I can.


1. Start vnc: vncserver -geometry 1920x1200 :1 -depth 24
2. Launch latest thunderbird, then chrome, then Xvnc crashes, dumps core.

Core with Debian's 4.1.1+X4.3.0-37
-rw--- 1 bob users  60551168 Oct 10 05:01 core.Xvnc4.7121

Core with realvnc's latest VNC on website (4.1.3):
-rw--- 1 bob users  67252224 Oct 10 05:11 core.Xvnc.9631

Obviously without a debug version, the output is not meaningful, however, 
I was curious if ayone had seen anything like this with 3.1-rc9?

Can anyone offer any suggestions as how to further debug this issue?
I see Debian upgraded its glibc from 2.13-10 to 2.13-21 but I'm not sure if
that had anything to do with it, I did try the PRELOAD statements in the
Debian readme but with no success.

RE: 3.x/libc6 -- out of ideas -- launching chrome results in an immediate crash of Xvnc everytime [SOLVED, well root cause found anyway]

2011-10-28 Thread Justin Piszcz
Hi,

It came down to this Google Chrome extension:

Name: Extensions Manager (aka switcher)
Version: 0.1.6.95_0

When this extension is enabled in 64-bit Linux when I launch Google Chrome
on two separate machines (both 64-bit/Debian), it crashes Xvnc, when I
disable/remove this extension, Xvnc no longer crashes (at least it has not
yet :-))

All of this hassle due to 1 bad plug-in; in any event though there is a bug
in X/VNC, an application should not crash VNC.

Just a heads up to anyone else who sees this problem.

Justin.
