You have been subscribed to a public bug: If the users runs the "system>preferences>remote desktop" program twice, such that they have two instances of vino-preferences running at the same time, they will be unable to enter a password.
The two processes seem to interfer with each other in some way that makes password entry impossible. The password keeps being truncated to one or two characters no matter how much they type. I was trying to talk someone through the process of setting up their remote desktop recently and this happened. It's not an easy problem to diagnose given that you're not able to see their screen (yet). http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326827: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326827 ** Affects: vino Importance: Unknown Status: Incomplete ** Affects: vino (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: Incomplete -- vino-preferences password entry fails if multiple instances are run https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/28227 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
