I'm trying to install Fedora 13 over VNC [1], with TigerVNC on Windows as the VNC client. In the middle, my connection dropped; when reconnecting, TigerVNC tells me "The server is already in use". Looking at the sources, it looks like the XVnc thinks there's an active connection, and it looks like was passed on a -nevershared option. And IdleTimeout=0 is also passed in. Any way to reconnect to the running Anaconda to complete the installation? I'd like to not have to run through Anaconda again.
Thanks, Ambarish

Fixed the problem by
* downloading debug symbols for tigervnc * extracting symbol files (rpm2cpio) * attaching gdb to the running Xvnc process and with the help of the symbol file, changing idleTimeOut to 1 sec, so that the stale connection would be recycled
I'm filing a bug against Anaconda. I can understand IdleTimeout=0, but not -nevershared

This means that Fedora is still used by power users after all. ;-)
