![]() A little-known fact about Mac versions 10.4 (Tiger) and over, is that they come with a built-in VNC server. This feature is included in a couple of the “Sharing” options and can be accessed with a regular VNC viewer/client. Using a combination of clues from (which is all about VNC access) and (which discusses the bug introduced into Vino) I have managed to resolve the matter. Essentially you have to disable encryption on remote desktop access in Gnome due to a bug that has come to surface in Vino. However some threads tell you uncheck it in the wrong place. Follow these guidelines and you should be able to resolve it quickly. Specifically it's dconf > org > gnome > desktop > remote-access > require-encryption - uncheck and NOT dconf > desktop > gnome > remote-access > enabled - uncheck Here is how you do it: • First make sure Desktop Sharing is set up properly. • Download dconf-tools by typing in Terminal sudo apt-get install dconf-tools • Run dconf-Editor • Expand org • Expand gnome • Expand Desktop • Select Remote Access • Uncheck Require Encryption (don't click on Set to Default as it rechecks it) • Exit dconf-Editor It should now work. Tested through a reboot and all good. Hope it helps. (I have got a screen shot of dconf but don't have enough points on here to post it - I am sure everyone can work it out for themselves though!:-) ). A wealth of uses: Helpdesk, education, remote system administration, telecommuting and family technical support, to name a few. Use it to transfer files easily between machines with Vine Viewer and allow Multiple Desktop Sessions on the same computer.Additional VNC Clients are available for Mac OS 9, Windows, many flavors of UNIX, LINUX, and many many more. - Full Screen Mode- International Keyboard Support- Support for Snow Leopard - Apple Mac OS X 10.6- Simplified Server Interface- UltraVNC SingleClick Support- New Full Screen Mode- UltraVNC SingleClick support- Added a basic control panel- Moved settings to a dedicate Preference Pane.- Moved “View Log” and “Reverse Connection” to menus/sheets- Many more enhancements.
