Actually, Xvfb is from the Xorg project and has nothing to do with VNC. The Ubuntu package which installs Xvfb is called xvfb. It is similar to Xvnc in that it is an X11 server which maintains a framebuffer in regular memory and requires no display hardware. However, unlike Xvnc, it doesn't provide any way for a user to interact directly with a session. Xvfb is ideal for running tests or other automated processes which need an X11 server available.

I definitely think that this approach is better than VNC as long as there is no need for a user to interact with a session since configuration issues like those discussed here are less likely. It is possible to take screenshots and attach them to builds as artifacts, which my test suite does in the case of WebDriver test failures.

Re: Xvnc plugin
Well, excellent points all the way around. In my case I don't try to connect to the running xvnc server, so xvfb works just fine for me. And I'd say that the OP now has an additional option.use the Xvfb plugin. I am curious though, could someone give exact, step-by-step instructions to set the .Xauthority password correctly on Ubuntu? As I said in my previous post, the jenkins userid does not show up in the users command output, there is no /home/jenkins created when jenkins or the plugin is installed, etc. John On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 10:37 AM, JonathanRRogers jonathanrrog...@gmail.com wrote: On Tuesday, March 26, 2013 4:35:33 PM UTC-4, JohnA wrote: I had a similar (but not exactly the same) problem on Ubuntu 10.04.

Re: Xvnc plugin
Set the HOME env variable to the home directory of the user running jenkins.
