OK I think I found the issue. The problem was not on the vinagre side but on the vnc server. I use x11vnc and I added the -xkb flag to it. rfkrocktk can you test it yourself? This is my setup:
root@MAE02WS004:~# cat /etc/xinetd.d/x11vnc service x11vnc { port = 5901 type = UNLISTED socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/x11vnc server_args = -inetd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -display :0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -usepw -many -bg -noxdamage -ncache 10 -xkb disable = no } And created a password using the "x11vnc -storepasswd" command. After the -xkb flag everything works like a charm! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/695834 Title: VNC Doesn't Transmit Certain Characters Properly -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
