Sebastian: no. the default is to use encryption. But after updating vino (do not remember at which point), vino changed the security type to a new one (at least, I think); the connection stopped to work with the error reported above and the only solution to have it back was to disable encryption.
What I *suppose* happened is that the vino server upgraded the encryption algorithm and the clients have still to catch up; the problem is that there seems no way to say vino to use an old encryption --- it just works with the "type 18" or none. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281250 Title: VNC accessible for Windows machines only with encryption disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vino/+bug/1281250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
