Description Jason Haar 2011-05-09 01:14:07 UTC

Description of problem:

tried to remotely connect to my new F15 laptop - didn't work.

lsof -ni showed it was only listening on IPV6 - I need IPV4

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

vino-3.0.2-1.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:

first time. I don't use it much, but last week it did work over ipv4

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.

Expected results:


Additional info:

Sounds like a long-standing problem. I've seen references on Ubuntu forums that this was a problem back in 2007!!!

Same here, F15 x86_56:


$ lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"
vino-serv 26319 needrealname   18u  IPv6   235770      0t0  TCP *:5900 (LISTEN)

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2012-03-28 10:40:46 UTC

I was able to work around the problem by doing the following - I commented out the ipv6 localhost line in /etc/hosts:


#::1	MYHOST.OURDOMAIN.COM	MYHOST	localhost6.localdomain6	localhost6


then,

# pkill vino-server


... and now it works.

$ lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"
vino-serv  3232 needrealname   18u  IPv6 36739542      0t0  TCP *:5900 (LISTEN)
vino-serv  3232 needrealname   19r  IPv4 36739543      0t0  TCP *:5900 (LISTEN)

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:33:00 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
