Public bug reported:
Here is the
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access/%gconf.xml
of the machine which won't let me in:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="vnc_password" mtime="1146515970" type="string">
<stringvalue>[removed]</stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="authentication_methods" mtime="1146515964" type="list"
ltype="string">
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>vnc</stringvalue>
</li>
</entry>
<entry name="prompt_enabled" mtime="1146515963" type="bool"
value="false">
</entry>
<entry name="enabled" mtime="1146515960" type="bool" value="true">
</entry>
</gconf>
>From another machine I start the vncviewer to connect on the first one,
get prompted for the password, but it isn't accepted.
If I run "vncviewer localhost" on the problematic machine it isn't
accepted either.
BUT: If I copy the configuration to a machine running dapper (i.e.
version 2.13.5 of vino) everything works like expected. So I suppose
there's something wrong with vino in edgy (version 2.14.0).
BTW: Before messing around with the config file I tried to set it up
using the GUI, with no success.
