I too am having trouble connecting to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, however we are trying to connect using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. We've tried encryption off. We've tried Remina Remote Desktop Client, and Gtk Vnc Viewer. Bot VNC applications are able to login to the 14.04 box, however neither one of them will control anything. The remote screen does not update. Windows are imovable. Mouse clicks do not appear to work.
When using Remina Remote Desktop Client and encryption off you can see that sometimes the 14.04 screen has changed due to actions on the 12.04 remote session. For instance cntrl alt T opened a terminal session. However the remote screen on the 12.04 remote session does not update and the new terminal sessions were not shown remotely. On the 14.04 box I have allow others to control your desktop checked through desktop sharing. I also have encryption off. We have tried killing vino, setting DISPLAY, restarting vino-server, and setting encryption off using gsettings. Also view-only is false. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281250 Title: VNC accessible from non-linux machines only with encryption disabled Status in GNOME Remote Desktop: Confirmed Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “vino” source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in “vino” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Since a recent update, it is impossible to connect to my Ubuntu box using VNC from a Windows machine unless I disable encryption on the vino server. I tested up-to-date tightVNC client and TigerVNC client on the Windows machine, with the same result. As soon I try to connect, I receive the following error: [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 List of security type is read [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 : Security Types received (1): Unknown type (18) [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 Selecting auth-handler [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 + RemoteViewerCore. Exception: No security types supported. Server sent security types, but we do not support any of their. So it seems that the update changed the security type of vino to a new one. I searched for a way to go back to the old one (until the clients catches up) with no avail. A solution is disabling the encryption completely, by gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false ...but this is subotpimal. Is there a way to switch the encryption back to the old one?
