Dear Antoine,
Thanks for Window Switch, and all related work available from this
project (the work on xpra in particular).
It seems like you are the only distributor of tigervnc debian packages
these days. However, I could find only binaries on your repository (no
deb-src). Could you please distribute the packaging sources (or provide
a link on the website in case you already do)?
Another issue is that I could not make the vncserver work (on debian sid).
The first problem was that the Xvnc binary contained hard-coded
references to /usr/src/tigervnc-1.1.0/xorg.build (which is not
available, unless you compile the package from source...). I got over
that by symlinking /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu into 'lib' in that directory.
However, now a different failure occurs, which I have not been able to
fully diagnose: as follows:
amit@penguin:~$ Xvnc :33
Xvnc TigerVNC 1.1.0 - built Jun 4 2012 08:17:48

Fatal server error:
Failed to allocate core devices
amit@penguin:~$ dpkg --search `which Xvnc`
tigervnc-server: /usr/bin/Xvnc
amit@penguin:~$ strings /usr/bin/Xvnc | grep 'core devices'
Failed to allocate core devices
(strace does not reveal much more - it dies after successfully reading
the file /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf.gz ).
I have downloaded the source tarball for tigervnc 1.1.0 from
sourceforge, searched it, and was not able to find the string "allocate
core devices".
It might come from some statically linked library used by Xvnc, or I
might have searched the wrong tarball. The precise sources used for
building the binary could help determine this. Or better yet, you, as
the packager, might have some insight into this problem.
thanks,
Amit A.
