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?
