This bug also seems to be present in 8.04 Hardy: Systems-> Preferences-> Remote Desktop x Ask for confirmation x Require password password: ... close
attempt connection using vncviewer: enter password ..."authentication failed" This workaround has worked for me: - gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false - gconf-editor - paste encode password from: http://www.javazoom.net/services/base64/base64.jsp - or use: - gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/remote_access/vnc_password <encode_pwd> - or use: - System-> preferences-> Remote Desktop - set pwd as desired... - manual text edit of %gconf.xml does not seem to work! - gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true - verify .gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access/%gconf.xml It appears that the Gnome Remote Desktop config UI does not save the password unless the vino service if first stopped and then restarted.
