IMAGE USED: http://autobuilder03.jf.intel.com/pub/nightly-meta-intel/20120704-1/machines/emenlow/core-image-sato-sdk-emenlow-20120704210110.hddimg STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Intall the hddimg on an eMenlow bsp 2. after boot, start from command line x11vnc on the bsp: # x11vnc -display :0.0 3. Connect from another vnc client machine to the bsp 4. Disconnect and try again to reconnect EXPECTED RESULT: 4. The vnc client can reconnect ACTUAL RESULT: 4. x11vnc process stops, so the vnc client isn't able to connect to the bsp. root@emenlow:~/bsp# x11vnc -display :0.0 ############################################################### #@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@# #@ @# #@ ** WARNING ** WARNING ** WARNING ** WARNING ** @# #@ @# #@ YOU ARE RUNNING X11VNC WITHOUT A PASSWORD!! @# #@ @# #@ This means anyone with network access to this computer @# #@ may be able to view and control your desktop. @# #@ @# #@ >>> If you did not mean to do this Press CTRL-C now!! <<< @# #@ @# #@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@# #@ @# #@ You can create an x11vnc password file by running: @# #@ @# #@ x11vnc -storepasswd password /path/to/passfile @# #@ or x11vnc -storepasswd /path/to/passfile @# #@ or x11vnc -storepasswd @# #@ @# #@ (the last one will use ~/.vnc/passwd) @# #@ @# #@ and then starting x11vnc via: @# #@ @# #@ x11vnc -rfbauth /path/to/passfile @# #@ @# #@ an existing ~/.vnc/passwd file from another VNC @# #@ application will work fine too. @# #@ @# #@ You can also use the -passwdfile or -passwd options. @# #@ (note -passwd is unsafe if local users are not trusted) @# #@ @# #@ Make sure any -rfbauth and -passwdfile password files @# #@ cannot be read by untrusted users. @# #@ @# #@ Use x11vnc -usepw to automatically use your @# #@ ~/.vnc/passwd or ~/.vnc/passwdfile password files. @# #@ (and prompt you to create ~/.vnc/passwd if neither @# #@ file exists.)

From the man page for x11vnc: By default x11vnc will not allow the screen to be shared and it will exit as soon as the client disconnects. See -shared and -forever below to override these protections. Further: -once Exit after the first successfully connected viewer disconnects, opposite of -forever. This is the Default. -forever Keep listening for more connections rather than exiting as soon as the first client(s) disconnect. Same as -many 24182 2 laurentiu.serban 2012-08-19 09:14:27 +0000 Setting this to verified.
