Ok. I figured this problem out. The key thing is that the vnc password is not updated correctly. The solution is to open gconf-editor and edit desktop > remote_access > vnc_password. The vnc_password field is base64-encoded. Navigate to this page: http://www.javazoom.net/services/base64/base64.jsp, type your password and let the applet encode it. Paste the base64-encoded password in the vnc_password field and voila! It works with and without SSH tunnel. You don't have to logout/login, it just works!
Hope this help you. P.S. I'm using feisty up-to-date. -- Can't change vino password in 7.0.4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
