Today we tried the command gsettings set org.gnome.Vino disable-xdamage true, which also did not work. Then we wiped the hard drive and loaded Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. We could not remote into 12.04 LTS from 12.04 LTS using either Remmina Remote Desktop nor Gtk VNC Viewer until we first logged into the remote machine using 2D mode. Then the remote session updated the screen and enabled us to see our controlling of the remote PC.
Interestingly we then logged off and logged back into the remote PC in 3D mode and the remote connection still worked. Finally we rebooted the remote PC, logged in under 3D mode, and the remote connection still works. I have no idea what is different but logging in one time under 2D mode set something up correctly. Wish I had tried that on 14.04, however I'm not going back soon. Hopefully this will help you guys figure this out. Currently the command gsettings get org.gnome.Vino disable-xdamage returns false on the remote PC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281250 Title: VNC accessible from non-linux machines only with encryption disabled Status in GNOME Remote Desktop: Confirmed Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “vino” source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in “vino” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Since a recent update, it is impossible to connect to my Ubuntu box using VNC from a Windows machine unless I disable encryption on the vino server. I tested up-to-date tightVNC client and TigerVNC client on the Windows machine, with the same result. As soon I try to connect, I receive the following error: [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 List of security type is read [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 : Security Types received (1): Unknown type (18) [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 Selecting auth-handler [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 + RemoteViewerCore. Exception: No security types supported. Server sent security types, but we do not support any of their. So it seems that the update changed the security type of vino to a new one. I searched for a way to go back to the old one (until the clients catches up) with no avail. A solution is disabling the encryption completely, by gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false ...but this is subotpimal. Is there a way to switch the encryption back to the old one?
