Bug Description
Hi,
x11vnc is running fine on my other machines (running earlier versions of Ubuntu). But in Artful Aardvark (17.10), I have checked the service ... it's active (running), and shows this pid/ command line,
1816 /usr/bin/x11vnc -auth guess -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /home/rmorris/
But when I check netstat, the port doesn't seem to be set up as a service (and I can't connect to vnc),
netstat -tl --numeric | grep 5900 => nothing!
I tried restarting the service, and nothing eventful in syslog - just this,
Aug 20 15:03:20 atticServer systemd[1]: Stopping Start x11vnc at startup....
Aug 20 15:03:20 atticServer systemd[1]: Stopped Start x11vnc at startup..
Aug 20 15:03:20 atticServer systemd[1]: Started Start x11vnc at startup..
Thoughts?
To the list of info requests - this is x11vnc v0.9.13-2.
Thanks!
