Bug Description
trying to use Xvnc with XDMCP to allow remote use of compute server
command line (run as user xxxx):
su -c 'Xvnc -query localhost -once -geometry 1280x1024 -rfbauth /home/xxxx/
windows (XP) vncviewer - tried tightvnc, ultravnc and the original vnc4, all same behaviour give or take a few seconds/clicks
repeat by
fire up Xvnc as above
fire up your vncviewer and connect (vnc authentication required)
login with gdm
run four in a row from the applications/games menu
see how many counters you can place before the server exits
package versions should have been collected by ubuntu-bug
FWIW
had same problem with 9.10 with tightvnc and vnc4 servers
9.10 tightvnc seemed more robust than vnc4
upgrade to 10.4 beta does not seem to fix

- Xvnx terminates unexpectedly after a few seconds + Xvnc terminates unexpectedly after a few seconds |
Likely this is a result of 64-bit problems in the X server for tightvnc-1.3.9. If you can grab / build 1.3.10 source from sourceforge project, it may clear that up. Or, possibly grab 1.3.9 source package and try to apply patch sourceforge. net/tracker/ ?func=detail& aid=2570977& group_id= 14067&atid= 314067 and then build.
