seriously? we're going to ignore this until we completely phase out the technology - and then ignore it some more?
way to go Canonical... for the record, I am using KDE on Ubuntu 12.04 running nvidia304.88 drivers for an nVidia GT520 and this is very much still an issue... how many years later? it is probably worth noting I didn't have this issue on my slightly older version of nvidia304 - didn't start happening until I upgraded the drivers to .88 (thank you Steam for insisting on that!) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772873 Title: Vino does not work with compositing Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “fglrx-installer” source package in Natty: Won't Fix Status in “fglrx-installer” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Status in “fglrx-installer” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: vino Vino, the built in VNC server in Ubuntu, has had a problem for many releases where it won't update the display when connected remotely if compositing is enabled. I honestly don't know why it was shipped with this version since compositing is now required and enabled by default, but Vino doesn't work if compositing is enabled. After upgrading to Natty there is no user-facing way to disable compositing, so the built-in remote control application is now completely useless. This is a core functionality of a desktop operating system and it has been broken in Ubuntu for several major releases ( see bug 353126 which was opened on 2009-4-1). If if it's not a core functionality to everyone and that's just my opinion, it doesn't make any sense to ship a desktop OS with a broken remote control service. I don't know of any other desktop OS that ships with a remote desktop functionality that is completely broken out of the box.
