You have been subscribed to a public bug: I was setting up a testcase for gnome's vino server. Vino had to be tested to confirm it works at the basic level of vnc connection.
Packages installed: vino, xvnc4viewer After installing vino and xvnc4viewer, in lubuntu, (xubuntu with lubuntu-desktop installed). The vino-server was started in Lubuntu 14.04 using this following command: /usr/lib/vino/vino-server &. This is the output of the following command. (vino-server:16269): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-3lXPtqLo8q: Connection refused (vino-server:16269): EggSMClient-CRITICAL **: egg_sm_client_set_mode: assertion 'global_client == NULL || global_client_mode == EGG_SM_CLIENT_MODE_DISABLED' failed 17/01/2015 04:39:40 PM WARNING: Width (1366) is not a multiple of 4.

In all instructions, "ssh" was used to establish the connection. This is the form of the command to connect to a vino-server. "ssh -L 12345:localhost:5900 username@ipaddress". I tried testing vino on my own laptop by connecting to itself. Whenever I performed the connection with or without ssh, I always get this output from the server: 17/01/2015 04:19:08 PM [IPv4] Got connection from client localhost 17/01/2015 04:19:08 PM other clients: 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM WARNING: New width (1366) is not a multiple of 4. 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Client Protocol Version 3.7 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Advertising security type 18 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Client localhost gone 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM Statistics: 17/01/2015 04:19:09 PM framebuffer updates 0, rectangles 0, bytes 0 This was after I used the command, ssh -L 12345:localhost:5900 username@ipaddress I get this output after I typed xvnc4viewer from my local terminal: CConn: connected to host 172.29.24.129 port 5900 CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.7 CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.7 CConnection: No matching security types main: No matching security types It seems the problem is that I cannot establish a successful connection unless I am using the same security type. I could not find a way to configure the vino-server to change or remove the security type. There was no manpage for the vino-server. A manpage for the vino-server is needed, updated setup howto for all variants of ubuntu and an advanced configuration file for the vino-server to modify how it runs and behaves. >From QA member Istimsak Abdulbasir (sak) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: vino 3.8.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-44.73-generic 3.13.11-ckt12 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-44-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.6 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Sat Jan 17 17:01:18 2015 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-01-09 (8 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20140416.2) SourcePackage: vino UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: vino (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 trusty -- Cannot configure the vino-server "security type" control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1412066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
