Description Gerhard Hintermayer 2025-04-01 10:29:04 UTC
after upgrading tigervnc to version 1.15.0, accessing the vnc server configured in xinetd is not possible anymore.

my xinetd config for vnc:

service vncserver
{
	socket_type     = stream
	protocol        = tcp
	wait            = no
	user            = nobody
	port			= 5902
	server			= /usr/bin/Xvnc
	log_type 		= FILE /var/log/xinetd.log
	server_args     = -inetd -query brklev2a -once -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16 -pn -fp /usr/share/fonts/misc/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled -IdleTimeout 3600 -SecurityTypes None
	log_on_success  = PID HOST EXIT DURATION
	log_on_failure  = ATTEMPT
	only_from		= *some subnets*
	disable         = no
}

when I manually runn the Xvnc with the supplied parameters (except -inetd) erverthing works as expected. 
when I connect via xinetd, I get "Reading version failed, not an RFB server" ? strange.

After downgrading to 1.14.1-r3 everything works as expected.

Looks like a regression in 1.15 and it happens to me too.

I opened an issue on their github.
