Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit desktop.
After install system X server run with -nolisten tcp
option:
922 tty7 Ssl+ 0:05 \_ /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch
I add xserver-allow-tcp=true
into
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and reboot. So X
now started without -nolisten tcp
:
2688 tty7 Ssl+ 0:07 \_ /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 vt7 -novtswitch
But X
not actually listen any tcp port:
sudo netstat -Wpnatu
Active Internet connections (servers and established)

So, what else i must to do?
UPD:
With Xorg 1.17 and later, -nolisten tcp is the default, and you need to explicitly state -listen tcp to enable tcp connections.
According this comment by alanc, i try add another line to lightdm.conf:
xserver-command=X -listen tcp
Finally all work as expected. My result lightdm.conf:
[Seat:*]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=ubuntu
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
xserver-allow-tcp=true
xserver-command=X -listen tcp
And it's completely solved my problem.
