Description uraad 2006-03-30 00:31:23 UTC
Version:           4:3.4.3-0Ubuntu1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

First sorry for my english...
Now the problem:

I configured the server to accept non invited connections and also configured a password.

When I go on an other computer (Win32) and start a VNC client to connect to the "server" everything works (Connection + authentication + remote screen apears) but as soon as I move the mouse the client closes almost immediatly.

I tried to use realvnc 4.1 and UltraVnc 1.0.1 (On the client side)

When I go back to the server ther is a messga telling me that the application closed with the message 6 (SIGABRT)

And here are the calls made by the application:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Cette pile des appels apparaît être inutilisable.
C'est probablement dû au fait que votre paquetage a été construit d'une manière qui empêche de créer des piles d'appels corrects, ou que le cadre de pile a été sérieusement corrompu dans l'incident.

(no debugging symbols found)
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The install of my Ubuntu 5.10 (French) is a fresh install (using only the official Canonical repositories)

Thank you for your help and good luck

I have the same bug with Kubuntu dapper Up 2 date. here is the launchpad report : https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/kdenetwork/+bug/39046
Comment 2 Jaison Lee 2006-04-11 00:19:16 UTC
KRFB has been unmaintained for a very long time, and it does not look like anyone wants to take over the job. The future of the program is at this time uncertain.
Comment 3 marseillai 2006-04-11 00:22:44 UTC
oki! it's there any qt or open source alternative to run a permanent VNC server with non invite connection on kde/linux?
Comment 4 Jaison Lee 2006-04-11 01:49:03 UTC
VNC is really more of a Windows thing. X supports remote logins natively via the DISPLAY variable. You can also look into NX (www.nomachine.com), X11VNC (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/), and most of the VNC servers out there have directions to plug them into the X server, with better or worse results based on the particular flavor.
Comment 5 Andreas Kling 2006-07-28 10:53:32 UTC
If you could provide a proper backtrace of this crash, it'd be possible to track it down. Otherwise, there is nothing we can do.
Comment 6 Andreas Kling 2006-07-28 10:57:54 UTC
Sorry about all the noise, my browser is really flakey today.

Comment 9 Alexandros Papadopoulos 2006-10-05 22:06:15 UTC
I'm seeing this behaviour too - sometimes it takes a few seconds, but the crash occurs.

Client: WinXP fully patched running UltraVNC 1.0.2
Server: KUbuntu 6.0.6 fully patched

@Jaison Lee:
Krfb isn't for remote logins, it's for connecting to local sessions.
Comment 17 marseillai 2007-04-17 09:43:23 UTC
now that this bug is mark as resolved is there a patch we can apply to kde 3.5.6 ?
Comment 18 Alessandro Praduroux 2007-04-17 09:48:31 UTC
nope, it's only resolved in trunk/KDE4 due to a complete rewrite, can't be easily fixed for 3.5.x
Comment 19 Marcel Partap 2007-04-27 13:06:06 UTC
@#18:
But that would mean krfb in KDE 3.5 is not and never will be usable with other VNC clients? I have tried TightVNC and RealVNC, both connected and after a few seconds crashed krfb with this 
krfb: ../nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c:108: __pthread_mutex_cond_lock: Assertion `mutex->__data.__owner == 0' failed. 
problem.
In that case imho this woeful fact should be mentioned somewhere in the program until it is fixed, because obviously the use case of connecting with a non-KDE VNC client is very common, and it seems to work with none of them. So rather than wasting peoples time, telling them it won't work right away might be a more pragmatic solution.
Does anyone understand what exactly happens when this occurs?
Comment 20 Michael Buchau 2007-07-01 21:12:09 UTC
The failed assertion in ../nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c:108 can be fixed with the attached patch. The function pthread_cond_timedwait gets called without prior locking of the mutex. According to pthread_cond_timedwait's manpage, this results in undefined behavior.
