Bug#1027043: libvncserver1: 0.9.13+dfsg-2+deb11u1 make x11vnc slow. 0.9.13+dfsg-2 works fine.




Hi Mike,

Here's what I did:
sudo apt install libvncserver1=0.9.13+dfsg-2+deb11u1
sudo apt-get build-dep x11vnc
apt-cache policy libvncserver-dev # check installed version is 0.9.13+dfsg-2+deb11u1
apt-get source x11vnc
cd x11vnc-0.9.16/
dpkg-buildpackage # this failed to sign the package
sudo dpkg -i ../x11vnc_0.9.16-7_amd64.deb
pkill x11vnc
x11vnc

and it all seems fine. Please let me know if I haven't done the steps you expected. I do use bullseye (with pinning for other versions at a lower priority).

Thanks,
Jayen

It seems that a new libvncserver patch in 
debian/patches/0003-rfb-increase-update-buf-size.patch create an ABI 
incompatibility between x11vnc and libvncserver.

Could you try this: rebuild x11vnc 0.9.16-7 (as found in Debian 
bullseye, if it's bullseye that you use) from source with the latest 
libvncserver version (library + dev:pkg) installed?

With the rebuilt x11vnc, does the error persist? Or is it gone, then?

Mike
