Hey Rob,
I've had MANY issues with x11vnc running consistently on Debian 8 Jessie
with RD 2.10.3. It's configured to run in systemd. Sometimes when I try to
remote in, the greeter window is completely missing. When that happens, I'm
able to SSH in and invoke -- sudo service vncserver@:0 restart -- to restart
x11vnc and then I'm able to login like usual. If x11vnc freezes, the only
way I've been able to recover is to SSH in and reboot the machine, which
really sucks.
That's exactly what I experienced this morning. You should never have to
reboot a GNU/Linux box.
Here's a thought: can x11vnc be run in user mode, i.e. not as root?

I try to be ssh'ed into the machine when using x11vnc and I have a
script that will restart it if it does crash and go away.
all the best,

I have a client who is running RD 2.19.3 running on CentOS
7, installed
according to the Paravel instructions. Most of his people
are doing their
shows from home via Comrex Access. They are VNC'ing in to
the Rivendell
system in the air studio to control rdairplay and doing
their breaks live
via the Comrex link.
Most of the time it works flawlessly, but once in a while
the x11vnc
server will either crash or freeze. When it happens, the
current song will
run out and they'll be silent for several minutes while
they go looking
for someone to VNC in and fix the problem.
This morning, x11vnc froze; I had to use kill -9 to kill
it, and when I
restarted it, the new process immediately froze. Only
rebooting the system
got it working -- not something I like doing when I'm an
hour and a half
away and there's no one at the station.
I have tried downloading the latest x11vnc code and
compiling it manually;
that hasn't helped. The logs don't offer any clues.
I know this isn't strictly a Rivendell problem, but I'm
wondering if any
of y'all have encountered it. Is there a better option
than x11vnc? I
suppose I could try vino.
Thanks,
Rob
