Can't create x session using -create

[iouwon]

Using Ubuntuj 18.04 when it tries to create an x session it fails because the find display cmd fails

When i use this service definition for a systemd service:

[Unit]
Description=x11vnc service
Requires=autossh-xrdp-x11vnc-tunnel.service
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
User=iouwon
Environment="UNIXPW_DISABLE_SSL=1"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -localhost -forever -loop -env FD_XDM=1 -auth guess -shared -repeat -noxdamage -create -unixpw -unixpw_system_greeter -scale_cursor 1/2

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

---

and restart the machine and get to the login screen, then try to connect via xrdp it fails and I see this in the x11vnc journal: Aug 27 00:28:23 my-server x11vnc[1847]: 27/08/2019 00:28:23 wait_for_client: running: env X11VNC_SKIP_DISPLAY='' /bin/sh /tmp/x11vnc-find_display.Jm8N05 Aug 27 00:28:23 my-server x11vnc[1847]: 27/08/2019 00:28:23 su_verify: 'me' for command.

Hi @iouwon, have you tried with different versions of x11vnc? Which version are you using?

[iouwon]

I've not tried any other version and the version I'm currently on is: x11vnc: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10

Just to be clear, if I log in on the machine directly, starting that users x session, x111vnc is able to find the x session and connects and I'm able to control the session remotely

it's only when i try to create the x session remotely that i get the failure

Please try with a newer release.
