Package: xtightvncviewer Version: 1.2.9-21 Severity: important
When xtightvncviewer connects to localhost, it automatically assumes that it should use raw encoding. For example, the output states "Same machine: preferring raw encoding". However, this should not be the case, as many people use ssh (often with -C) to get past firewalls and also because of ssh compression, improve the speed of VNC. Prior versions of tightvnc did not do this, and tightvnc should be able to dynamically switch encoding as it does for normal links anyhow. Please remove this recently added featured, as it makes tightVNC extremely annoying in many circumstances, and it should have no problem switching to best-encoding on its own anyhow. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xtightvncviewer depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.2-4 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.5-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii vnc-common 3.3.7-14 Virtual network computing server s ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xtightvncviewer recommends: ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-4 standard fonts for X -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
