Well I gave it another try, and still no joy... (on Jaunty with vino version 2.26.1-0ubuntu1) )
Connecting from a host with address (a.b.c.f) to vino server on remote a.b.c.d : ssh -L 5902:localhost:5900 a.b.c.d vinagre localhost:5902 - with network_interface = blank : works fine - with network_interface = lo : doesn't work (black screen). doesn't give any error message on host and no pop-up to accept connection on vino server side Here is the output from netstat on the vino server (sudo netstat -patn) : Connexions Internet actives (serveurs et établies) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Adresse locale Adresse distante Etat PID/Program name tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5924/vino-server tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7982/sshd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3106/cupsd tcp 0 0 a.b.c.d:22 a.b.c.f:58358 ESTABLISHED 7986/sshd tcp6 0 0 ::1:5900 :::* LISTEN 5924/vino-server tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 7982/sshd tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN 3106/cupsd tcp6 0 0 ::1:39311 ::1:5900 ESTABLISHED 7994/2 tcp6 0 0 ::1:5900 ::1:39311 ESTABLISHED I will try again with Karmic as soon as RC is out.
