The problem actually lies in gtk-vnc. Running vinagre with the --gtk- vnc-debug flag shows:

It calls this twice, but instead should be calling VNC_AUTH_CHOOSE_TYPE followed by VNC_AUTH_CHOOSE_SUBTYPE like it does in Lucid (ie the second call should be saying "emit main context 12"). The following hack in vncconnection.c works around the problem and allows connection: gboolean vnc_connection_set_auth_type(VncConnection *conn, unsigned int type) { VncConnectionPrivate *priv = conn->priv; VNC_DEBUG("Thinking about auth type %u", type); // We are incorrectly called twice, once for auth and then again for subtype auth. // Because the auth_type is set (eg to TLS), the connection immediately fails. // This hack works around the problem: if (priv->auth_type != VNC_CONNECTION_AUTH_INVALID) { return vnc_connection_set_auth_subtype(conn, type); } if (priv->auth_type != VNC_CONNECTION_AUTH_INVALID) { -- vinagre fails to connect to any VNC server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
