I use ssh to connect to my Gentoo box, the first connection after a reboot, I launch vncserver and leave it run until the box reboots. I have the box firewalled off so only ssh traffic reaches it. After I upgraded to vnc-4.0-r1, I found that after I disconnect my client that the server dies. This is all that is found in the log. Tue Nov 22 23:13:05 2005 VNCSConnST: Server default pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian rgb565 VNCSConnST: Client pixel format depth 8 (8bpp) rgb max 3,3,3 shift 4,2,0 VNCSConnST: Client pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian rgb565 X connection to :1.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). X connection to :1.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":1.0" Moving back to vnc-3.3.7 fixed the problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.SSH to the box, start vncserver 2.Remotely connect and disconnect from vncserver 3.verify that vncserver is dead Actual Results: The VNC server was no longer running and to restart it on display 1, I needed to delete files from /tmp, indicating to me that the server died unexpectantly. Expected Results: The vncserver should have remained running until it was either shutdown by me or I rebooted the box. octo ~ # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.1 2-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 i686 VIA C3 Ezra Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i586-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled ] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=i586 -fomit-frame-pointer -m3dnow" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=i586 -fomit-frame-pointer -m3dnow" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 alsa apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl eds emboss encode esd ethereal exif expat fam foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif glut gmp gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 howl imlib ipv6 jpeg lcms ldap libg++ libwww mad mhash mikmod mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I recently performed a emerge -e system and emerge -e world as part of the migration to gcc 3.4.4. I rechecked vnc 4.0-r1 and it now behaves as expected with out the server shutting down.
