Finally I got the bloody vnc4server working. What Roberto Faroline said on 2007-04-25 DID WORK. They should at least assign someone to fix it (I was about to install fedora :-o).
Anyway, this is what I did to make it work: Modify the file /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc, by adding at the end of the server_args line this: -extension XFIXES The whole Xvnc file under /etc/xinetd.d should look like this: service Xvnc { type = UNLISTED disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/bin/Xvnc server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 1280x800 -depth 16 -f p /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared passwordFile=/root /.vncpasswd -extension XFIXES port = 5901 } Take a look at this excelent link: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/04/workaround-for-vnc4server-end-of-stream.html Cheers -- vnc4server does not start Desktop environment after security update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
