I have a very similar problem. It occurs at the authentication stage. Here it is:
1. go to Applications, Internet, Remote Desktop (vncviewer) 2. I am able to enter the IP or computer name, 3. then it does connect and I get the authentication window prompt 4. the username/passwd prompt (as usual one does not have to enter the username really) appears but the passwd prompt seems to be selected, but actually you cannot type in there, nothing happens if you do, you cannot even hit enter and get a response. 5. Clicking on another window and then clicking the passwd prompt solves the problem and you can then enter the passwd and finish the authentication. The problem does not occur if compiz is not loaded. -- Default vnc viewer will not allow direct data entry with Compiz enabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
