Hey guys,

I've got a problem with the Remote Desktop on Suse 11.1. It works fine since I and other people can connect then use it. Until like a few hours of use then the people that are connected can still use it but no more new connections can be made.

Does anyone know a solution to this?

Thanks

Unfortunatelly I don't have a solution, but I got the same problem.
I have five identically installed servers (SuSE 11.1). When they are started, at every server vnc works fine, but (randomly) after some time (hours, days) when you try to log on again just a grey screen appears in the vnc window.
So I guess somehow the link between the vnc server and the window manager (KDE4 in my case) crashes after a certain time.
At least I can provide you with the things I already treid out to solve the problem:
Things that DIDN'T help:
- Restart of X-Server
- init 3 - init 5
- Restart of vnc server
- connecting by http instead of of vncclient

Things that did help for a certain time:
Restart of the system (which of course is not really a solution)

Does anybody has an idea where to look at or which deamon / program / configuration file / temp file might lead to that behaviour?

Thanks

I finally found a solution to the problem.
Here
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-L.../msg01983.html
is described how the problem is caused and how it can be solved.

Basically one just has to delete or uncomment the line:
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
in the file /etc/hosts
So in my case it now looks like:
#::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

Then everything works perfectly. Even without restart of any daemon or so. Obviously the VNC-Server has a problem with the localhost-definition of ipv6.
Therefore another possibility is to change the lines looking like:
server_args = -noreset -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
in the vnc file /etc/xinetd.d/vnc to
server_args = -noreset -inetd -once -query 127.0.0.1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16

Then the change in the hosts-file shouldn't be necessary any more. But I haven't tried out this for me since the other solution works fine.

I hope this helps. :-)
