Bug Description

Binary package hint: vino

Going to:

  System->Preferences->Remote Desktop

and ticking [x] Share this Desktop, then immediately unticking it again without closing the preferences dialogue will generate a runaway 'vino-server' process that uses 100% CPU for no apparent reason.

Ideally 1. vino-server should never use 100% CPU; 2. vino-server should not be running at all if the enabling tickbox is unselected.

This is still an issue in Lucid.

This is still an issue in Maverick on both amd64 and i386 - vino-server hangs with 100% cpu. If you try and re-enable access, the remote desktop prefs dialog box hangs while trying to check connectivity until vino-server is killed.

In my testing, it only happens if you also have ticked one of "you must confirm each access" or "require the user to enter a password".

Still present in Maverick. Is bug #340515 the master bug for this?

I just checked this in Ubuntu 11.10 and couldn't reproduce the problem. Please reopen if this is still an issue for you.
