I am having a similar problem so may be related to this bug. The client connects, I can see the mouse cursor moving around, but all I see is the mouse cursor and a black screen at the client.
A workaround for me was to disable desktop effects (compiz) on the host and I was able to view my desktop correctly from the client. -- I connect to my remote desktop but I am unable to do anything from within the client and when I click something nothing happens on the client but on the server things still open but the client doesnt display these things happening https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
