 Posted: Thu Jan 23, 2020 3:30 pm Post subject: Why is VNC Server running on :1? Haven't started it |
 |
|
I am installed tigervnc as a server on my headless server.
However, when I went to start a vnc session I saw that one was already running. Why is this? And how can I kill it?
| Code: | develop /home/one/gitlab/whacs.cs.unitmanager.client # /etc/init.d/tigervnc status
* status: stopped
one@develop: ~/gitlab/whacs.cs.unitmanager.client (master)
$ vncserver :1 -localhost
A VNC server is already running as :1
one@develop: ~/gitlab/whacs.cs.unitmanager.client (master)
$ vncserver -kill :1
Can't find file /home/one/.vnc/develop:1.pid
You'll have to kill the Xvnc process manually

| Perhaps knowing its command line and process ancestry would provide a hint about its origins. What does ps tell you about the existing VNC server? Are you sure a VNC server is the origin of the conflict? It is traditional to start them with somewhat higher display numbers, leaving very low numbers for additional X servers. |

I'm having this issue too.
| Code: | $ vncserver :12
A VNC server is already running as :12 |
But no output from any of these:
$ ps auxc|grep -i vnc
| Code: | $ ps auxc|grep -i xvfb
$ netstat -l |grep :5912 |
Is there a file which keeps track of the display numbers so when vncserver crashes it leaves behind the display context file somewhere?
It does not seem to be in ~/.vnc:
| Code: | $ ls -a ~/.vnc
. .. passwd

| Do you have a stale socket in /tmp/.X11-unix/X12 |
