The problem seems to be related to enforced encryption. open dconf-editor org -> gnome -> desktop -> remote-access Then uncheck "require-encryption"
I am then able to connect using Macos' built in screen sharing tool (and Chicken too) -- 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/1307084 Title: Vino doesn't work from OSX Mavericks Screen Sharing on Ubuntu 14.04 Status in GNOME Remote Desktop: New Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After upgrading to 14.04 from 13.10 VNC stopped working from Mac OSX Screen sharing application. At first I thought it was related to issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/1290666 . But that makes other VNC clients such as TightVNC working but issue with OSX Screen Sharing still exists, maybe it is because it uses fairly old protocol.

Only difference I see is the Client protocol version which is much older in Mac Screen Sharing app. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vino/+bug/1307084/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
