reassign 596287 libgtk-vnc-1.0-0 affects 596287 vinagre thanks It seems you're not the first to find this problem: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-vnc-list/2010-September/msg00000.html
The workaround there doesn't seem like a good solution in general to me. I've tried debugging this a bit and I think the problem lies in the signal handling of gtk-vnc, rather then vinagre. If I've understood gtk-vnc correctly, it has a vnc connection and a vnc display object. The connection signals "vnc-auth-credential" which the display object subscribes to (on_auth_cred). The display object then sends the same signal, to anyone (vinagre) that subscribes to "vnc-auth-credential" on the display object. When running this in a debugger I think "on_auth_cred" is never called and thus the signal on the vnc display object that vinagre subscribes to is never emitted. Reading symbols from /opt/vinagre/bin/vinagre...done. (gdb) run Starting program: /opt/vinagre/bin/vinagre [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] ^C Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x00007ffff2ca10d8 in __poll (fds=0x7af210, nfds=11, timeout=<value optimized out>) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c:83 83 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c: No such file or directory. in ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c (gdb) break on_auth_cred Breakpoint 1 at 0x7fffedf1114a: file vncdisplay.c, line 1111. (gdb) c Continuing. The above scenario: gdb vinagre run break the execution with ctrl-c add breakpoint continue click in vinagre and attempt connection. breakpoint never hit and connection failed dialog shown. Breaking on do_vnc_connection_emit_main_context works and the breakpoint gets hit..... no idea why the signals never surface. Another test case is to eliminate vinagre by using examples/gvncviewer.py and observing that it also never calls the vnc_auth_cred, which is the function subscribed to the credentials signal on the vnc display object in the example. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
