 Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2025 4:35 pm Post subject: tigerVNC not connecting from client. server crashing[slvd] |
 |
|
I have a gentoo machine I'm running xfce and I'm trying to connect to a tigervnc server running xfce.
error from client: unable to connect to socket connection refused (111)
I have followed this tutorial: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/TigerVNC
and
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/TigerVNC#Migrating_from_1.13.1-r2_or_lower:
Server:
| Code: |
narnina /etc/tigervnc # rc-service tigervnc restart
* Stopping TigerVNC server :1 ... [ ok ]
* Running /etc/init.d/tigervnc in compatibility mode
* Please migrate to one service per display as detailed here:
* https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/TigerVNC#Migrating_from_1.13.1-r2_or_lower:
* Starting TigerVNC server :1 ... [ ok ]
narnina /etc/tigervnc # rc-service tigervnc.1 restart
* Stopping TigerVNC server :1 ... [ ok ]
* Starting TigerVNC server :1 ...
|
I've tried port 5900 and 5901
Her is what I added to: /etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-defaults
session=xfce
securitytypes=vncauth,tlsvnc
geometry=1920x1080
localhost
alwaysshared

| Is TigerVNC listening on the address and port to which the client is trying to connect? The error message suggests it is not. That could be because it crashed or because you have it bound to the wrong address. |

Thanks for the reply:
netstat -ano does not give me a hint.
The port should be 5800 or 5900
I could not find how to set the port in the docs.
| Code: |
# vncserver -list
usage: vncserver <display>
|
| Code: |
narnina /etc/tigervnc # netstat -ano
... shows no connections

| That looks to me like TigerVNC is not listening anywhere. Do you have any evidence that its process still exists? |

| Does TigerVNC write any logs that might tell why it is terminating? Can you start the process from a terminal to check for useful output? |

I'm not sure what this means:

| You have an entry in /etc/inittab (or similar) that starts a program, and that program is promptly exiting. init will try restarting it a few times, but if it continues to exit promptly, then init presumes it is broken and that further restarts should be delayed, to avoid spinning the CPU repeatedly spawning a broken program. |

thanks again. I understand. I'll keep on trying tigervnc.
tigervnc has the best documentation.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Remote_desktop
I thought I had Single Server Configuration setup:

I really do not want to use xrdp because I hate everything related to microsoft.

|
|
I got tigerdirect server started as follows:
ln -s tigervnc /etc/init.d/tigervnc.1
rc-service tigervnc.1 start
now I can not connect from the client to port 5900. {but there was some progress}
I got help from this post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1163253-start-0.html
I added:
TIGERVNC_XSESSION_FILE="/etc/X11/Sessions/Xfce"
to /etc/init.d/tigervnc
| Code: |
# Config file for /etc/init.d/tigervnc
# Add the user(s) Xvnc(1) should be run for to /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users
# DISPLAYS is no loger used.
# cwc Optionally override the default Xsession file
# TIGERVNC_XSESSION_FILE="/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession"
# TIGERVNC_XSESSION_FILE="/etc/gdm/Xsession"
# TIGERVNC_XSESSION_FILE="/etc/lightdm/Xsession"
# TIGERVNC_XSESSION_FILE="/usr/share/slim/Xsession"
TIGERVNC_XSESSION_FILE="/etc/X11/Sessions/Xfce"
# vncsession no longer supports VNC_OPTS
# Use /etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-defaults or $HOME/.config/tigervnc/config instead
|
| Code: |
rc-status
Dynamic Runlevel: manual
tigervnc.1 [ started ]

| Please show the output of ss -antp. I suspect you have it listening on localhost, and are trying to connect over TCP from a remote system. If so, you will either need to tunnel the connection over ssh or allow it to offer (potentially unencrypted) service to anyone who can connect. |

I was able to connect with Remmina.
See my post above.
additionally I set the password in two places.
root #vncpasswd /etc/X11/vncpasswd
and
user $vncpasswd
I believe user $vncpasswd solved the authenication problem.

I was able to connect with Remmina.
See my post above. |
Your most recent post is the first mention of Remmina, and the first time you said it connected successfully. Your new output shows it is listening on a LAN address, which is not what I speculated above.
Are there remaining problems to address, or would you now consider this thread to be solved? |
