Hello, I can confirm this issue is still present on latest: * Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (upgraded today) When trying to connect from macOSX Mojave (10.14.6 (18G1012) ** its application "Screen Sharing v1.7.2(498.150)" or ** VNC® Connect Viewer v6.19.1115 (r42122) x64 (Nov 11 2019 12:05:05)
In both cases I am not able to connect to my Ubuntu desktop remotely thanks to this issue. Following this advice: https://askubuntu.com/questions/463486/can-no-longer-use-screen-share-to-connect-mac-to-ubuntu-since-upgrading-to-14-04 by disabling Vino's security (require-encryption = OFF) I was able to connect from both clients. Now, I'm getting warnings: "The connection to this VNC Server will not be encrypted." When I'm connecting between two Ubuntu's 18.04 LTS or from Ubuntu to Mac, there has not been any issues. ** Attachment added: "Necessary config change screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/1281250/+attachment/5307239/+files/2019-11-23_23-54-46.png -- 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 TigerVNC: New Status in vino: Confirmed Status in vino package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in vino source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in vino package in Fedora: Invalid 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?
