Often bugs are in the upstream code and not the in distribution changes, there is no automatic way to figure where the issue is though. You are welcome to open bugs on launchpad if you prefer, it's just that e.g vino doesn't have anybody actively working on it in Ubuntu so you might have better chances to get issues resolved by talking directly to the software writers

Vino had to be tested to confirm it works at the basic level of vnc connection. Packages installed: vino, xvnc4viewer After installing vino and xvnc4viewer, in lubuntu, (xubuntu with lubuntu-desktop installed). The vino-server was started in Lubuntu 14.04 using this following command: /usr/lib/vino/vino-server &. This is the output of the following command. (vino-server:16269): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-3lXPtqLo8q: Connection refused (vino-server:16269): EggSMClient-CRITICAL **: egg_sm_client_set_mode: assertion 'global_client == NULL || global_client_mode == EGG_SM_CLIENT_MODE_DISABLED' failed 17/01/2015 04:39:40 PM WARNING: Width (1366) is not a multiple of 4.

In all instructions, "ssh" was used to establish the connection. This is the form of the command to connect to a vino-server. "ssh -L 12345:localhost:5900 username@ipaddress". I tried testing vino on my own laptop by connecting to itself. Whenever I performed the connection with or without ssh, I always get this output from the server: 17/01/2015 04:19:08 PM [IPv4] Got connection from client localhost 17/01/2015 04:19:08 PM other clients: 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM WARNING: New width (1366) is not a multiple of 4. 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Client Protocol Version 3.7 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Advertising security type 18 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Client localhost gone 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Statistics: 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM framebuffer updates 0, rectangles 0, bytes 0 This was after I used the command, ssh -L 12345:localhost:5900 username@ipaddress I get this output after I typed xvnc4viewer from my local terminal: CConn: connected to host 172.29.24.129 port 5900 CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.7 CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.7 CConnection: No matching security types main: No matching security types It seems the problem is that I cannot establish a successful connection unless I am using the same security type. I could not find a way to configure the vino-server to change or remove the security type. There was no manpage for the vino-server. A manpage for the vino-server is needed, updated setup howto for all variants of ubuntu and an advanced configuration file for the vino-server to modify how it runs and behaves.
