I have a problem connecting to Vino VNC server with 2 Linux Computers running Xubuntu.

The computers are Based on the ODroid U3 chip which is ARM based. When both of the ODroids are on the same network VNC fails, When I turn off one of them I can connect to the other, As VNC is the main display for these computers, this is important.

Here's the IFConfig for ODroid1 (The old ODroid U3)

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 1e:f6:d7:be:00:ad  
          inet addr:192.168.1.62  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::1cf6:d7ff:febe:ad/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:3261 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3286 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:578475 (578.4 KB)  TX bytes:1550098 (1.5 MB)

Here's the IFConfig for ODroid2 (The new ODroid U3)

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 1e:f6:d7:be:00:ae  
          inet addr:192.168.1.64  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::1cf6:d7ff:febe:ae/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX bytes:104504282 (104.5 MB)  TX bytes:112083194 (112.0 MB)

One more note from my experience, if I turn the old ODroid and then connect the new one, I can reconnect the old and have a couple of minutes connected to both via VNC, however this eventually fails WIth the same error... here's the error I get via VNC when both Odroid's are online and I try to connect the new one:

Please help me connecting both via VNC on the same network?

  • do you connect to both from the same host, or from two separate hosts? (I am thinking maybe the problem is at client, not server)

  • Sverre: Tried both situations, same host or different host on the network doesn't matter - also the problem only occur when these two are live together, I just shutdown one of them so I can connect the other

  • I have an update on this issue as it might be client related, I have now successfully connected to the VNC while both are online from my VNC client on my cellphone - could this be Remmina's error?

  • I think it is most likely a client error yes. maybe try another than Rammina ?

  • I just tried 2 different clints including realVNC, and vinagre - both kill the vino server with the same error: 05/04/2014 04:17:29 AM Client returned security type 2 [xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. vino-server: ../../src/xcb_io.c:274: poll_for_event: Assertion !xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost failed. /usr/local/bin/vino: line 3: 3125 Aborted (core dumped) /usr/lib/vino/vino-server What the hell is this ?

This problem doesn't occur on X11VNC, I have switched VNC servers on one of the computers and the problem did not reoccur.
