The vncserver script assumes that a potential X display number {n} is
occupied if one or more of the following is true:
- Something is listening on TCP port 6000 + {n}. This port would be
used if X11 TCP connections were enabled, but the TurboVNC Server does
not enable X11 TCP connections by default.
- Something is listening on TCP port 5900 + {n}. This port is used for
RFB connections from VNC viewers.
- The file /tmp/.X{n}-lock or the file /tmp/.X11-unix/X{n} exists.
These files are used by X11 Unix domain socket connections, which are
the default method by which X applications communicate with the TurboVNC
X server. If the TurboVNC session didn't exit cleanly, then you may
need to run '/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver -kill :{n}' to clean up the
Unix domain socket files for the session. If those files aren't cleaned
up, then the X display number for that session won't be reused by a new
TurboVNC session.
Also, on Ubuntu 20.04 and other Wayland-equipped distributions, the
local X server will use Display :1 whenever someone logs in, so if you
want to use Display :1 for TurboVNC, make sure you are logged out of the
local X server.

Hey people and wonderful devs!
So I have been using TurboVNC for a long time but lately, it keeps
making the server on new ports. I just launch my TurboVNC server as a
user, nothing fancy. On my regular Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server - the
TurboVNC is the latest I could grab from the site.
How I start it?
Again, nothing fancy: "./vncserver -localhost" that's it.
So I start the server and normally, it starts on :5901 - and :1
After a while it made a server on :2
Tried to debug this behavior. Checked .log files, checked "ps ax |
grep vnc", nothing.
Today it did a server on :3. And I just can't seem to force it to make
it on the :1. Nor I can find out why it keeps making new ports. The
server has been restarted many times, it's updated regularly, but I
just can't figure out what's causing this.
Pls help?
