[Bug 599773] Re: Remote desktop not refreshed when using desktop sharing
There is a discussion of this problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1383356page=2 It has been seen with a number of vnc viewers (not just vinagre) and appears to be a problem with xdamage extensions. From post 15 by v_2ryann : Here is the answer guys, on how to do it without changing the effects: 1) Open a terminal o press ALT+F2, then run/type: gconf-editor 2) Go to /desktop/gnome/remote_access and enable disable_xdamage I found it found here: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1496368 The gconf-editor says this about the XDamage extension of X.org: This extension does not work properly on some video drivers when using 3D effects. Disabling it will make vino work on these environments with a slower rendering as side effect. One post suggested a possible link with nvida drivers, but my machine does has ati drivers and experiences the same problem. Many people on the forum thread above (and others) have said turning off desktop visual effects (which presumably use xdamage) solves the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599773 Title: Remote desktop not refreshed when using desktop sharing -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem here with the difference that I get just a black screen without any picture.

Thank you swatspyder. Your workaround function well for me too. If Computer A want to share his desktop and Computer B accept to share it, then Computer A must disable, temporarily, all Compiz Visual Effects. I hope that new Compiz 0.9 and/or some work on vinagre will resolve this bug in the future, because remote desktop sharing through Empathy is the best solution: no more pain with firewall and router ports, or enabled remote destkop option in the Preferences. -- Remote desktop not refreshed when using desktop sharing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This issue is solved by disabling Desktop Effects from within System Preferences Appearance Visual Effects None The problem with this issue is that the fix is just a workaround.

Hi Brian, sorry for the delay. Eventually I have made the test you asked. I used the remote desktop viewer directly between the two computers, without Empathy. The result is identical. I mean that the problem I exposed here is still present. I receive only the first remote screen, and then it remain static.

Thanks for your bug report and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have a feeling this is a vinagre problem and not empathy, but I won't close the empathy task until the vinagre triagers take a look at this. Could you try using remote desktop viewer (instead of empathy) between the two computers to see if that gives you any different results? ** Also affects: vinagre (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Remote desktop not refreshed when using desktop sharing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
