Public bug reported:
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?
