Any suggestion please? Thanks, Yousuf RealVNC or UltraVNC if you want security that is built in. TightVNC is another option, but doesn't have the level of security built in that you would want if you are connecting over the internet. If you can't get the Windows clients to play well with the security in the Linux servers, then you could use SSH to create a secure connection, then go over the SSH connection to connect the client to the server. If you google 'ssh tunnel' there are lots of 'HOW TO' links. If you don't have any objections to using stuff that requires a Google account, you could try using Chrome Remote Desktop. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp I tried it when it was first released only long enough to see it work between my phone as the client and a computer running Windows with Google Chrome as the server. At that time it wasn't working for me on my Linux desktop using Chromium, so could still be an issue using it with Chromium. It allows you to set up a permanent connection for yourself, may be an issue if you want to allow other people to connect without you having to be there to generate a code. Later, Seeker

Hi. Please do not top-post. Please do not CC me. I'm subscribed to the list.

And the message says what's wrong by itself. You're supposed to run 'gsettings' by *user*, not *root*. And you're supposed to run 'gsettings' from the X session. > can you please also advice any client for windows. right now the only > platform i have is Windows to access the machine. and Remmina does not work > for Windows. > > Any suggestion please? Sorry, I cannot help you there. I stopped using Windows 10 years ago and I can only suggest you to do the same. Reco

You don't need to upgrade VNC server, you need to upgrade to VNC client that supports TLS-over-VNC. Or to disable VNC encryption altogether. The problem is - about the only client that seems to support that cryptic 'VNC security type 18' seems to be Remmina. So - you need to connect from the Windows client - you need to have an insecure configuration on server side. Presumably - it's done like this: gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false Reco
Problem VNC (Vino) access from windows or other clients
I am using Debian 8.2. i enable screen sharing but when i try to connect client side shows me this message unable to connect VNC server using your chosen security setting. Either upgrade the VNC server to more recent version from realVNC or select weaker level of encryption and i see this on server /var/log/messages.
