I have small headless server with debian and lxde installed. I would like to be able to perform some task over vnc sessions. LightDM - default login manager supports launching vnc server (tightvnc in that case). It works fine, new vnc connection spawns new x server and lightdm, i can log in into any user i desire.
The problem is, once vnc connection ends, x server created for that connection is being destroyed. I'm unable to resume it.
Is there a way to lock lxde session (not the screensaver) and go back to lightDM, so i could login back to my session (over new vnc connection in that case).
I would like to start lxde session, run some gui application, lock my session and disconnect, leaving my lxde session running, so i could resume the work later?

Is that possible in lxde and lighdm?

Hi i'm using this:

sudo mcedit /etc/init/x11vnc.conf

Code: Select all

start on login-session-start

script

/usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -display :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -forever -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -rfbport 5900

end script

Reboot your machine. Don't need to login to get this working.

Best regards.
