Hello,
I've recently upgraded from 2008.0 x86_64 to 2008.1 x86_64, the upgrade being flawless.
Still, for some reason vncserver and x0rfbserver crash with a segmentation fault as soon as I try to open a session using vncviewer. I've had a closer look at vncserver and the crash is in some keyboard-related X11 function (VNC had a lot of issues with keyboard on 64bit systems in the past).
Can any of you test and see if you have the same problem or it's my upgrade which went wrong?
For the test, a:
vncserver :1
vncviewer :1
should be enough....
Thanks!
Full Version: VNC server crashes on 2008.1 x86_64
Don't know if you still have this issue. If not, I would be very interested to know if you have solved it. I seem to have the exact same issue. Here is what I get in the log file for the server:
and then it dies.
Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone has a answer please post it. I 2 am having the same problem on Mandriva 2008.1
I can get the server to start but when I connect from a internet browser I get vncviewer/VNCviewer.class not found.
If I change the index.vnc to just VNCviewer.class the server dies...

I have found a solution it is Mandriva Buzzllia Bug#: 37514 
Fix: Here is an ugly workaround to have vnc work on 2008.1 :
# unload and reload ... vnc packages (to load dependencies)
urpme --auto --force tightvnc tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc x11vnc
libvncserver0
urpme --auto --force tightvnc tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc x11vnc
libvncserver0
urpmi --auto tightvnc tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc x11vnc
# re-unload tightvnc-server and x11-server-xvnc
urpme tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc
# download the 2008.0 version rpm of tightvnc-server and x11-server-xvnc
cd /tmp ; rm -f tightvnc-server-*.i586.rpm* x11-server-xvnc-*.i586.rpm*
wget
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux...rver-*.i586.rpm
wget

Fix: Here is an ugly workaround to have vnc work on 2008.1 : # unload and reload ... vnc packages (to load dependencies)
urpme --auto --force tightvnc tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc x11vnc
libvncserver0
urpme --auto --force tightvnc tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc x11vnc
libvncserver0
urpmi --auto tightvnc tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc x11vnc
# re-unload tightvnc-server and x11-server-xvnc
urpme tightvnc-server x11-server-xvnc
# download the 2008.0 version rpm of tightvnc-server and x11-server-xvnc
cd /tmp ; rm -f tightvnc-server-*.i586.rpm* x11-server-xvnc-*.i586.rpm*
wget

wget

For http access, there is an extra package you need: tightvnc-java
I messed around a bit, so I'm not sure if there's anything else to do.
Otherwise, only m repeats, but to get one 'm' character, you need to press it twice...
See also: this bug
Did some more hacking, and found that with this way to start, all is fine:
vncserver :7 -dpi 80 -geometry 800x480 -httpd /usr/share/java -httpport 5807 +kb
The java vnc package must be installed and +kb at the end is there to override the wrong default of -kb that gets used otherwise..
Hope this is useful to someone...
