[Bug 707705] Re: Vino not accepting incoming connection to more than a single desktop session when the "network_interfaces=lo" option is set
I did some more testing on this problem, and it seems that even changing the port will not work with a network_interface specified. E.g. without network_interface set, and alternate_port set to 5995, I can connect to the server via 'vncviewer :5995'. After setting the network_interface to lo and using ssh tunneling, the connection attempt fails: vncviewer -via ubuntu@ :5995 ubuntu@'s password: channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused vncviewer: VNC server closed connection However, on there is definitely a process listening on 5995: tcp0 0 127.0.0.1:5995 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1115/vino-server tcp6 0 0 ::1:5995:::*LISTEN 1115/vino-server As an experiment, I connected to via ssh -Y for X forwarding, and run vncviewer, which worked: $ vncviewer localhost:5995 Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.7 No authentication needed Desktop name "ubuntu@lucid" VNC server default format: 24 bits per pixel.

Least significant byte first in each pixel. True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8 blue 0 Same machine: preferring raw encoding I then tried to use port forwarding with ssh, 'ssh -L 5995::5995 ubuntu@', but this failed with: $ vncviewer localhost:5995 vncviewer: VNC server closed connection With that being unsuccessful, I tried a ssh/ppp tunnel, as a sort of VPN replacement: $ sudo /usr/sbin/pppd updetach noauth silent nodeflate pty "/usr/bin/ssh root@ /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach notty noauth" ipparam vpn 10.0.0.1:10.0.0.254 Note that the root user needs to be enabled on for the above to work. I could not figure out how to use sudo on to get a pppd running. With this crutch, I could connect to both vino servers at different ports: vncviewer 10.0.0.254:5995 vncviewer 10.0.0.254:5999 However, I could not get it running without the alternate_port specification. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707705 Title: Vino not accepting incoming connection to more than a single desktop session when the "network_interfaces=lo" option is set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vino/+bug/707705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I noticed that I forgot to attach the server output described above.

[Bug 707705] Re: Vino not accepting incoming connection to more than a single desktop session when the "network_interfaces=lo" option is set
I did the following test: 1. Log in as user1. 2. Switch session to user2. 3. Check with "netstat -alp --inet". Notice that only the vino-server of user1 is listening, on port 5900. 4. In user2's session, kill the vino-server process. 5. Manually run /usr/lib/vino/vino-server on the console. On stdout, we can see that it tries to bind to port 5900 (see attached output). I guess that, in the above example, user2's vino-server should be trying to bind to port 5901.
