[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#891906: tigervnc-standalone-server: Fails to interpret comand line parameters

[Georg Herrmann]

Package: tigervnc-standalone-server
Version: 1.7.0+dfsg-7
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

vncserver ignores the X-Display id attached to the -kill option. Say
there are 2 open sessions, here's what happens:

herrmann:~$ vncserver -kill :2
vncserver: This is ambiguous. Multiple vncservers are running for this
user!

TigerVNC server sessions:

X DISPLAY #     PROCESS ID
:1              9983
:2              10064
herrmann:~$ 

Even if only one session is open, vncserver ignores the X-Display id
completely:
herrmann:~$ vncserver -list

TigerVNC server sessions:

X DISPLAY #     PROCESS ID
:2              10064
herrmann:~$ vncserver -kill :17
Killing Xtigervnc process ID 10064... success!
herrmann:~$
