This is still happening with 3.5.2-0ubuntu1 on Quantal which I confirmed
via tcpdump whilst enabling and disabling remote control in vino-
preferences.

So the issue was that updating the message once the check responds was
indeed disabled upstream, but the check was still being done -- I'll fix
this by disabling that webservices check altogether, since it's not
giving any benefits as it is now and the underlying IPv4/IPv6
connectivity issue

I see it got unmarked as a security bug. If I may try to re-explain why
I think it *is* a bug. Firstly, many VNC users set very weak passwords
(e.g. 'password') because they are using it internally behind a
firewall, and anyone with physical access to one machine has physical
access to the other
Dom,
Those two points (the first being user error) have nothing to do with
this bug report, which is about vino connecting to an external server to
check its network connectivity. Please file a separate bug report about
these if you wish to.

Christian,
While I agree that it is unfortunate that vino tries to speak to an
external website to verify if vnc is properly available, there is
currently no plan to apply these changes to other releases than Oneiric.

1) vino doesn't use the external website to check for connectivity. Even
when the remote website isn't accessible, vino is still supposed to
start up fine. It only uses the remote website to determine if the
computer is accessible from the internet so it will display an
appropriate message to the
So, if you don't have network connectivity, and you uncheck the box and
check it again, the setup tool will hang for around 30 seconds waiting
for the remote server to respond. This could be better.

I will attempt to reproduce the connectivity issue, but accept it may

I don't believe it's the same as ntp. With ntp the hits go to Canonical

Alan,
your comment went in while I was writing the above. Hope it's cleared things
up a bit. There seem to be two issues here with Network Manager:
1. It doesn't play nicely with hard-coded interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces
2. If eth1 (for example) gets reassigned from a wired interface to
27 matches
