vino-server doesn't start

[Leon]

Binary package hint: vino

When I login in gnome vino-server isn't running. When I run it manually it directly exists with this message:
** Message: Received signal 11, exiting...

As a quick workaround I only copied the 'vino-server' file from a working 10.04 system to the /usr/lib/vino folder overriding the bad vino-server file that crashes (in my case I kept the old file). its working perfectly after that.
Make sure you have correct permissions on the file after that.. and its all good..

/usr/lib/vino$ ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-10-10 11:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 216 root root 69632 2010-10-10 11:35 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 313216 2010-09-27 16:21 bad-vino-server
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 309056 2010-10-10 11:43 vino-server
/usr/lib/vino$

I have the same issue here. Thanks for the workaround, I hope this gets fixed soon.

Nice, I'm going to try the fix tomorrow. I'll post here if it works or not.

Encountered same problem. Completely removed vino package, reinstalled and rebooted. Server is now responsive.
My thought is that I kept the config file from 10.04 when prompted, and something in it caused 10.10 server to not function.

confirmed, but I don't have a working binary to try to swap. I did both an apt-get remove and apt-get purge of vino, but the bug persists (see my steps below):

have same problem
tried removing, reinstalling vino - didn't work.
but replacing 10.10 binary with 10.04 did

[Scott Howard (showard314)]

I did a full backtrace and found the segfault at:

#13 0x000000000040f645 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe2a8) at vino-main.c:117
        context = <value optimized out>
        display = <value optimized out>
        view_only = <value optimized out>
        i = 1
        n_screens = <value optimized out>
        error = 0x0
        client = <value optimized out>

it turns out that this has already been debugged at Bug # 652961, and has something to do with UPnP. If UPnP is disabled on your router, it may be another work-around for this bug. I'm marking this as a duplicate of that one so that we're all conversing together. Future correspondence should be at the new bug.

I have the same problem :(
