I agree that the best possible solution would be for the Windows clients (at least TigerVNC and TightVNC) to catch up. Unfortunately this has not happened; for the time being it would be much better if vino could offer the option to go back to the previous Security Type when the client does not support the new one.
The only solution now is disable the encryption completely; I resorted to a loop back ssh connection so that there is no clear traffic on the wifi, but I still need to do the local step with vino in clear way --- almost safe for me because I do not have other local users, but you never know... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281250 Title: VNC accessible for Windows machines only with encryption disabled Status in GNOME Remote Desktop: Unknown Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “vino” source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: Since a recent update, it is impossible to connect to my Ubuntu box using VNC from a Windows machine unless I disable encryption on the vino server. I tested up-to-date tightVNC client and TigerVNC client on the Windows machine, with the same result. As soon I try to connect, I receive the following error: [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 List of security type is read [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 : Security Types received (1): Unknown type (18) [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 Selecting auth-handler [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 + RemoteViewerCore. Exception: No security types supported. Server sent security types, but we do not support any of their. So it seems that the update changed the security type of vino to a new one. I searched for a way to go back to the old one (until the clients catches up) with no avail. A solution is disabling the encryption completely, by gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false ...but this is subotpimal. Is there a way to switch the encryption back to the old one?
