Package: tigervnc-xorg-extension Version: 1.7.0+dfsg-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I'd really like to be able to connect to :0 on my work computer from home. I used to do that with vino and gnome-fallback on Wheezy. The full Gnome 3 experience is slow and generates several Mbit/s of network traffic with vino. TigerVNC seems like the way of the future. If I start a dedicated TigerVNC server on :1, then it works great. But I think I need tigervnc-xorg-extension to connect to my Nvidia-based :0. When I connect to :0, however, my client display often isn't completely updated when the server display changes. I have to play games dragging selections, moving windows or asking the client to ask for a complete refresh to see what's going on. I initially tried TigerVNC 1.6.0 on Jessie, as Jessie is what I really need to work. Antipating that you won't care about that smelly old lashup, I then tried TigerVNC 1.7.0 on Stretch, again with Nvidia's proprietary driver. Same behavior. Now I've also tried a cleaner install of Stretch with Intel integrated graphics, again Gnome 3, again TigerVNC 1.7.0. I think I'm seeing the same behavior, although here I don't have the same sort of clients. Connecting back to the same system with tigervncviewer gets me: CConn: End of stream On the second and subsequent attempts, that's prefixed by: Server sent us an invalid screen layout I tried - and succeeded in - connecting with Chicken of the VNC, an ancient Mac OS VNC client. I think I had the cursor stuck in the top left bug there, but also I wasn't seeing output that I initiated on the server. I tried - and again succeeded - in connecting with a RealVNC client on iPhone, probably both reasonably uptodate. Again, server-initiated changes were not displayed on the client. I had previously suggested that I'd try with "nouveau" instead of nvidia drivers but there seems little point when I see what's probably the same behavior on this other system with Intel graphics. Now I'm at something of a loss. I skimmed through the titles of everything in upstream's issue tracker without seeing anything that grabbed me as relevant (and obviously Googled too). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tigervnc-xorg-extension depends on: ii libaudit1 1:2.6.7-1 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.1-5 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.5 ii libstdc++6 6.2.1-5 ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.19.0-3 Versions of packages tigervnc-xorg-extension recommends: ii tigervnc-common 1.7.0+dfsg-2 tigervnc-xorg-extension suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
