Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1. Install Xubuntu 16.04 LTS, update fully
2. Install packages xinetd, vnc4server
3. Append to /etc/services:
vnc 5900/tcp # VNC Virtual Network
Computing
4. Append to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:
[XDMCPServer]
enabled=true
5. Create /etc/xinetd.d/vnc:
service vnc
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
group = tty
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -once -securitytypes=none
-geometry 1024x768
}
# NOTE: might need to add an arg like ":1" to get out of way of local X server
# my case is special as I am trying to run headless, nobody is logged in on
console
6. Signal xinetd and lightdm to reconfigure:
$ sudo killall -1 xinetd
$ sudo service lightdm restart # or however your init system works
7. Don't know if significant (I am 400 miles away from test host and can't
test):
do NOT have anyone logged in on the test host console. In fact, to most closely
reproduce my case, shut down the test host, power it off, disconnect all
monitors
and keyboards, then power it on and access from the net.
8. From another system, connect to the test host:
$ gvncviewer testhost:0 # Your favorite VNC viewer & test host name...
9. VNC connects briefly, displays grey hashed background, disconnects. Syslog
on
