Hi all, For years, out of inertia, I have been using x11vnc in a screen session to provide remote desktop access to my local home server. So simply speaking I see my logged in X session, with my desktop and running programs, and I can manage it remotely from another machine.
my x11vnc in screen is as follows: x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -shared -forever -loop -noipv6 -repeat -timeout 60 -ncache_cr -noxfixes -find This works all year round, but for last couple of months (or more?) its randomly dropping the connection and I have to start over. This is some bug in x11vnc, because otherwise server's reliability is excellent, and all other services are working very well. When it drops, screen session says: caught XIO error: 06/09/2022 21:31:50 deleted 60 tile_row polling images. And it just starts over because is has -repeat option. It happens every few minutes, very frequently when I am typing, and almost not at all when I am doing nothing apart from having remote session fired up. I'd like to finally fix it (anyone knows what's wrong?), or replace x11vnc with something else. Preferably some systemd service. And I want full desktop access to my machine, I know that some other remote clients are logging me in as a new user or something, with empty desktop, that's not what I want. Specs: Clean Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) x86_64 with x11vnc package installed. Xorg and LXQt as desktop environment, on NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 on nouveau driver. Everything is stable apart from this issue. Any suggestions welcome! -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
