Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vinagre
Used Applications->Internet->Remote Desktop Viewer to VNC from a Lucid Lynx machine to another Lucid Lynx machine over the internet. I could see the cursor moving on the remote machine, but no other updates to the screen. Disabling desktop effects on the remote machine solved the problem. Both machines are clean vanilla installs of Ubuntu 10.04. Since desktop effects tend to be enabled by default on most recent hardware setups, this means that remote desktop connection via vnc appears to the end user to be broken by default. I would expect the view shown in the remote desktop connection to update correctly regardless of the level of desktop effects selected in the visual effects tab of the appearance preferences window. ** Affects: vinagre (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Desktop effects prevents updates in Remote Desktop Viewer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642967 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
