Hi all,
I am having issues with running tightvnc-server on a CentOS 5.1 x86_64 machine (currently up-to-date, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5). Occasionally, the Xvnc instance will just crash, taking with it everything that I was running. When it crashes, it seems to do so when I try to open some GUI program. So, for instance, I click on a shortcut to open a program, and poof, it crashes. But it does not crash every time. At times it is usable for a long time.
I believe tightvnc is available from rpmforge.
$ rpm -qa | grep tightvnc tightvnc-server-1.3.9-1.el5.rf tightvnc-1.3.9-1.el5.rf
Is anyone else using tightvnc? Is anyone having any trouble with it? Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
Here are the last few messages from the log file after one of these crashes:

Hmm, does no one run TightVNC? What about the regular VNC that comes with CentOS? I may change back to that and see how it runs. Any ideas?
