The upstream bug was reported about 2.5 years ago. It certainly looks like the developers of Vino are not going to change the default to not require encryption. Would it be possible to change the default for Ubuntu to not require encryption at least?

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?
