Public bug reported:
The system for this bug is running Trusty with xvfb 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.7
Xvfb fails to launch after being used for a couple days and I can't see
any reason to why it wont launch.
We have inetd.conf setup to run an x11vnc script with the following
command whenever a connection comes in on port 5902 (assumed to be a
tunneled VNC).
/usr/bin/x11vnc -inetd -oa /tmp/x11vnc.log -once -noxrecord -env
FD_GEOM=1024x768 -env FD_XDMCP_IF=127.0.0.1 -create_xsrv Xvfb.xdmcp
-gone 'pkill -f "Xvfb.*`echo $DISPLAY | cut -d . -f 1`\>"'
x11vnc is attempting to launch xvfb but it's failing after having worked
for multiple connections and there doesn't seem to be any indication on
why. The log files show this error:

Of note: the /tmp/.X20-lock file does not exist, and there is no :20 display
currently in use. There is currently no Xvfb process running on the system,
and attempting to open Xvfb even when specifying a different display such as
:99 will give the same error message. I can still utilize x11vnc to connect to
the currently running real display at :0 for screensharing, so this seems to be
an issue with only Xvfb.
