GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 661289
Closing vinagre leaves 5500 port in TIME_WAIT state
Last modified: 2021-05-26 09:25:48 UTC
1) I enable reverse connections in vinagre in pc01. 2) Then in pc02 I run: x11vnc -connect pc01 Case a: 3a) I then close vinagre from the [x] titlebar button. For some time, the 5500 port is left in TIME_WAIT state and if I open vinagre it can't bind to it and receive new connections. Case b: 3b) I then close the connection from the *toolbar* [x Close] button. And then I close vinagre. In this case the connection is terminated gracefully and if I reopen vinagre I can accept new connections immediately. Proposed solution: Either try to gracefully terminate any connections when vinagre is closed, or bind to the 5500 port even if it's in TIME_WAIT state, there's an option for that.
I get the same result as described in case A. I have to wait a full minute before I try to re-establish connection to that client. If I try earlier I simply get a gray screen. Is this 1 minute wait required?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Vinagre, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vinagre/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
