On 26-Feb-2014 I identified the cause of this problem and proposed a fix. I emailed the maintainer of remmina-plugin-vnc (Debian package) ([email protected]) with a breakdown of the problem and the fix/s. I did not receive a reply, so I will just attach email here instead.
It has to do with the fact that when the remmina vnc plugin is built on newer versions of Debian (and/or Ubuntu) the compiler builds against the system package version of libvncserver rather than the customized internal version of libvncserver packaged with the remmina-plugin-vnc source. These days the system package version of libvncserver is the better option, and this is probably intended behavior, but remmina- plugin-vnc looks for certain custom defined flags in its personal version of libvncserver in order to enable Apple Authentication support. It doesnt see these flags, so this feature doesnt work. In my case, I simply removed the #IFDEF checks for these defined flags, recompiled (still against the Debian package version of libvncserver) and it worked correctly. I would prefer to see this bug fixed at the Debian level, rather than just the Ubuntu package. ** Attachment added: "Email to [email protected]" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/1171733/+attachment/4019126/+files/email.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to remmina in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171733 Title: Cannot connect to OS X (Regression) Status in “remmina” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When trying to connect to OS X hosts I get the following message - Unknown authentication scheme from VNC server: 30, 35 Uninstalling remmina and then installing the version from 12.04 fixes the problem.
