The fix is to use --extension XFIXES This works for vnc4server. It does not work for vncserver. The following will fix the scrambled keys and also give you the gnome desktop ssh into your remote pc sudo apt-get install vnc4server (make sure you do not have vncserver added. If you do then sudo apt-get remove vncserver)
Then run vncserver :1 -query localhost -extension XFIXES Refer https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/vnc4/+bug/78282 -- Scrambled Keys in feisty ubuntu desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
