VNC session turns undead over the weekend

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – During the week I have a single VNC session I'm working with throughout the week. However, whenever I come back from the weekend or some vacation, I can no longer connect to that session, getting a "cannot connect to host: Connection refused (10061)". When I ssh to the server and use vncserver -list, I do see my session there, and it looks very much alive; and I can open additional sessions and connect to them. If I try to vncserver -kill the original session, though, I get a Xvnc process ID $ID already killed message. What's going on here, and I can I keep my session alive over time? Se (HowTos)

Stories similar to VNC session turns undead over the weekend

hi, I would like connect to a Fedora linux desktop by using vnc with a couple login/passwd and take the control of the current user session. I v installed vncserver (tigervnc) and x11vnc.

I v configured an user session in /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and launch vncserver :1 -name user. I can connect remotly but it's a gui root session. How take the current user session and see what he do?

I am always on the Ubuntu-qc irc room, well, almost always. The only time I disconnect is when I am on the road.

What I would like is to have my session open on my server and be able to connect to it from where I am.

I know I can install SIRC on the server and connect to it with Screen but, is there a way that i could connect to it with a irc program with a GUI like IRC ?

Am I clear enough ??

Regain control of an X Server 26 weeks 6 days ago

I have a Gnome session running on my server. I started it with tightvncserver. Now it wont let me in anymore because of "Too many authentication failures - client rejected". This seems to be a known issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/vnc-list@realvnc.com/msg25235.html

I dont want to kill the vncserver, as it probably will kill the current Gnome session.

I have ControlPersist 4h in my .ssh/config and it works perfectly, Every now and then I need to connect to this server that requires some special authentication, and if I don't use that account for while it locks my account,

the problem happens like this, I don't use my account for a while, then I ssh into the server, it checks and my account is locked so it says so but it does not actually kic

Hi everyone!I wrote some bash daemons designed to be started by xdg autostart mechanism.The problem is: unlike X clients, bash scripts do not exit on logout from X session or when X is killed.subproblem: script needs to do some housekeeping when exiting.I'm looking for DE/DM-independent way of telling if current user X session still exist, or not.

Hello everyone,

First up: I'm not referring here to hibernating or suspend the computer, but rather shutting down completely.

I prefer to start with a clean slate each time so II've told my Fedora 17 not to save my session when it is shut down (Applications Menu > settings > session and startup) but it seems that while new sessions are not being saved, the same specific previous sessio

Name a Byobu session? 33 weeks 2 days ago

Is there a way to create identifiable Byobu sessions so that when I've got multiple sessions running, the byobu-select-session menu gives me a list of sessions I can recognize, as opposed to non-descript tmux port numbers?

In an ideal world, it would be great to be able to both start a session giving it a name and to modify such a session to change a name if it's already running?

I'm investigating HAProxy as a possible replacement for F5. F5 is capable of persisting a session based on a response header value:

when HTTP_RESPONSE { set session [HTTP::header X-Session] if {$session ne ""} { persist add uie $session } }

and then route all subsequent requests which contain the same session ID in a header, query parameter, path, etc.

I am running a FreeNX server on Ubuntu 11.10 and am unable to do session shadowing. I get the authorization prompt, but the shadow client crashes after.
