[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#1013978: tigervnc-standalone-server: tigervncserver listening on UNIX sockets doesn't daemonise

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: tigervnc-standalone-server
Version: 1.11.0+dfsg-2
Severity: normal


Hi.

I've had reported this originally upstream at:
https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/1486
but didn't notice that `tigervncserver` was a Debian addition.

So I'm more or less copy&pasting the information from there...


When running tigervncserver with listening on UNIX sockets and even
without -fg it won’t daemonise and continues to run in foreground.

E.g.:
  tigervncserver -rfbunixpath=/home/calestyo/remsock :5


Just like when running it with listening on a port, it should go in
background, and subsequentially be killable just when listening on
TCP via -kill .


Thanks,
Chris.
