Run as: Xvfb -screen 0 1680x1024x24 -ac -nolisten tcp :5 I'm using this to run cairo's make check once every four hours. No clients currently connected: darxus@dancer:~$ DISPLAY=:5 xlsclients darxus@dancer:~$ For thoroughness, the (only) command I'm running against this display, from cairo's git, is: DISPLAY=:5 CAIRO_REF_DIR=$HOME/source/cairo-ref.xcb-image.xvfb.script CAIRO_TEST_TARGET=xcb,image,image16 make test Xvfb has been running for almost five days.
Version 1.18.3, running on Ubuntu 16.04.
I ran Xvfb through valgrind as: valgrind --leak-check=full --log-file=xvfbvalgrind.log --leak-check=yes Xvfb -screen 0 1680x1024x24 -ac -nolisten tcp :6 Verified that the kill command successfully got it to exit with output. Ran cairo's make check for about 37 hours (a single run), then ran kill on it, waited three days for it to exit, then had to shut it down so I could move, with no output. I went back to just using Xvfb normally, problem is still there: 5903 darxus 20 0 6141480 3.046g 9348 S 0.0 39.1 128:20.84 Xvfb I wanted to mention in an older bug, a workaround was to run Xvfb with -noreset I haven't tested it. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498357 (Since it took three years for that workaround to get mentioned there.)
