Ubuntu :: Vino 2.28.2 Unstable On 10.4?
May 5, 2011
I have a Linux box with Ubuntu 10.4 that I use basically to play music and download files. It doesn't have a monitor or keyboard, the only way I access it is using Ultra VNC. Yesterday, the automatic update service offered to update Vino (among other things) to version 2.28.2 and, as usual, I accepted.
After the update Ultra VNC has had trouble negotiating the protocol with Vino. The only way I got it to work was to force using Tight as the compression method, which provides a crappy image quality. Besides that, at some unexpected moment, the connection just dies.
Can anyone help me to:
1.- Solve this issue with the current Vino version or
2.- Go back to the previous version that was working perfectly.

I have a dual monitor display with my Ubuntu 10.04 x64 setup and I need to configure Vino to default to the secondary monitor (which is actually screen 0.1). Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have recently added a second screen and uses separate X screens as my x screen settings. No xinerama. After adding the display Vino refuses to start. IIRC using dual X screens with xinerama works as expected.
Starting it manually results in code...
Is it even possible to use vino with two server-side x screens? I would be perfectly happy with only one X screen exposed via VNC if it is impossible in the VNC client to choose which X screen to connect to.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on an older desktop and when I first installed Ubuntu I set up Remote Desktop Vino services and was able to connect just fine with my Windows XP, Windows 7, Leopard, Snow Leopard PCs and my iPhone using VNC all just fine. So I apply updates to my Linux box and now it's broken. I can not remote into my Ubuntu machine at all now. So something with the updates is broken. I don't really use my Ubuntu machine at all, all it is used for is for a dedicated Folding@Home server. I attached a screenshot as what my Remote Desktop settings look like.

My vino listens on port 5900, but when I connect I still get a new session and not my existing one.
P.S. Is there any other way to get to :0 ?

I have a fileserver running debian 6 and I would like to be able to remote control it over VNC. I have enabled Remote Desktop in Gnome and it works, however I have to be logged into Gnome for it to work. Gnome doesn't enable vino before a user is logged in for some reason. This presents a problem as there is no keyboard or mouse connected letalone a screen.
I looked up the issue on google and found this: [URL] Long story short, I have to edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default and insert "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server &" just before 'exit 0' at the end of the file, and change "KillInitClients" to "false" in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. I edited the first one as it says, but I can't find gdm.conf anywhere. I did however find a 'daemon.conf' in the /etc/gdm directory, and added the line there.
When I try to connect after doing the above, my vnc viewer (client) just disappears - no errors, message, sound - nothing. It doesn't even ask for a password. I checked the comments in the link, and the second to last comment suggests it's because of some negotiating-issue which should be an easy fix:
Turned out I had to enable connections to vino not related to my user account. To do this run sudo vino-preferences and duplicate the settings instructed here

I've noticed that after updating opensuse to 11.2 from 11.1 vino is slighly different by its layout. Is there big changes in vino?My problem is that when I connect to vnc (from windows with tightvnc viewer), it asks password normally, and let me log in, but when the screen has "rendered" from up to down, it doesn't update it any more. It let me move the mouse, and if I test it locally from other computer in LAN, I see the mouse moving and text appearing when typing and windows moving when moving, but no changes in vnc viewer screen! I mean it doesn't update the differences at all.What could be the problem? I tried out realvnc as well, but it seems it is not in the viewer. Is it in vino? I have correct ports open and so, just like before. It worked in 11.1 but not in 11.2

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday on a headless home server. I use the server for a variety of purposes, and what I don't know how to do via SSH I've alway been able to do through VNC. However, since the upgrade vino-server will no longer run if there isn't a monitor attached. Before it used to start up without a problem. Even by attempting to run the server via SSH gives me a "could not load display" error. Summary: I need to get vino-server running at boot time on a server with Ubuntu 10.04, without a monitor attached.

I usually remotely connect to a client server to make adjustment via the CLI.Occasionally I have to login into the desktop to understand some issues that my customer are trying to explain via Vino-Server. I have notice that sometimes when I attempt to login via ssh, I sometimes can see that a user has not logged into the GUI desktop which means that I cannot login into the remote desktop session to resolve any issues via the GUI. My question is:How can I remotely login via ssh and start a gnome or kde session for the user account that I am trying to resolve his or her issue?

I'm trying to use Gnome's built in remote desktop viewer, Vino, to remote to my PC. When I use the vnc client on another computer to get to my OpenSuse 11.1 box, it lets me type in a password and pauses. If I look at the screen on my OpenSuse box it is waiting for the gnome keyring password and it wanting it for vino-preferences. It specifically says: The application gnome remote desktop (/usr/bin/vino-preferences) wants access to the default keyring but it is locked.
Does anybody know how to bypass needing the password for this? I'm not sure how to begin to figure this out. I've been a longtime Fedora user and vino worked fine there so I don't think this is the way it is supposed to work.

my OS is SuSE 11.2 with gnome.Remote administration is active.The VNC-session then connects to the login-screen and after login opens a new desktop.How can vino be configured to attach to the desktop that is already running. (Ubuntu does that per default so it should be possible with SuSE too)

I'm trying to connect to my server (to the gnome session) using vnc. I run vino-server on debian
I get pass the authentication (configured none) but I get a blank screen instead of my session.

I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 11.04 on my server about 2 weeks ago, I setup remote desktop and figured to just leave the password field out as it suppose to be pre-configured to only accept local connections, well, apparently not. I was noticing some strange network activity and checked my router connections and sure enough I see port 5900 to the server, open vino icon and see that there is someone else connected! (IP of unauthorized user: 77.29.51.239 ).. Immediately kick them and set a password. This should really be addressed and/or a password should be defaulted or at the very least the "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network." should be removed.

In one of the last KDE 4 updates, or perhaps when moving from intrepid to karmic, using the application "clusterssh" has become completely unstable. Some of the symptoms I have experienced:
1. Window focus problems. Clicking on a single xterm window from a group of xterms controlled by clusterssh does not switch focus to that window. Focus stays on the clusterssh application, so output is still directed to all xterms. Previously, I could interact with a single xterm, or with all of them.
2. Clipboard problems. After using clusterssh for awhile, and perhaps using the clipboard within clusterssh cutting and pasting between other applications completely fails. The only work-around is to completely log out of your kde session, hence killing your clusterssh sessions.
3. xterm window manipulation. At some point during a clusterssh session, all xterm windows become locked in place. You can't move them at all. This also leads to focus problems described above. The work-around for this is to switch virtual desktops, and then switch back to your clusterssh session, and now the windows can be manipulated and re-organized again.

I newly made clean installation of Ubuntu 10.04 and I previews had Ubuntu 9.10 installed. When I made clean installation of Ubuntu 10.04 and looked into syslog, dmesg and kern.log I could see clocksource tsc unstable and CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns. In every boot.

I seem to be having problems with karmic and perhaps GRUB2 sometimes when the computer boots after the GRUB2 screen I get a flashing cursor (underscore) and nothing happens. I end up having to hard reset. other times I'm using karmic and everything seems ok and then it suddenly freezes. I haven't been able to find a reason. Memtest seems ok too. which log file is likely to show me where things went wrong?

Why is Ubuntu slower and more unstable than Fedora on my laptop? I thought, as it is a more popular distro, it wouldn't be. I've only used it on my laptop for a couple of days and I already had at least 3 default software crashes. On Fedora, I had about one crash per two weeks. Ubuntu is also slightly slower. Opening the Social broadcast messages window took so long to open, that meanwhile, I totally forgot that I opened it.

I want to use linux instead of windows to create my videos, but all the video editors are so unstable that they are not possible to use at all.At first I Thought it was my hardware or something but I tried on my laptop as well. They all crash randomly every time I try to do stuff.I have tried OpenShot, VLMC, Pitivi, OpenMovieEditor, Avidemux, Kino, LiVES, Cinelerra and Kdenlive.How come I never have problems like this in windows?I know Linux sometimes sucks when it comes to brand new hardware, but seriously though. All the video editors are crashy.

after a while, all my menus that pop up on Firefox 4 become unstable. When I go to click on the "file", "edit", "view", etc. buttons, they never stay when I go down the list. Also when I right click, the list will not stay either.
This is a bug that needs to be reported, so I am reporting it now. Hopefully we can get this problem fixed in the next update

I have run Ubuntu on my laptop for several months. The last few weeks for an unknown reason when I click on something(nothing that seems related)I start getting many notification on the bottom panel and it just continues until I shutdown my computer but pushing down the off switch, the only way to stop it.
I have tried computer janitor and only get an error message that it can't run because it thinks synaptic or another item is running when it is not. I am TOTALLY lost when it comes to fixing issues in Linux but I like it and want to keep it on my hard drive. Where to start and remember I am an idiot when it comes to Linux.
Also some program's seem to crash for no apparent reason.

Has anyone else experienced problems with KVM in the last few days?
I've been running KVM VMs for the last year. Until sometime in the last few days they've been working fine. I have three F13 systems that I'm running KVM on, an iCore7 with a CentOS5.5 VM, a Core 2 with a CentOS5.5 VM and another Core2 with an XP VM. I haven't seen any problems with the iCore7 system but the two Core2 systems are both exhibiting serious problems.
The CentOS VM is hanging. I can ping it but I can't ssh into it anymore. Prior to that state I was able to ssh in put I couldn't do a ps. Eventually I couldn't ssh in anymore. This is repeatable, I've rebooted the system a couple of times and restarted the VM, it always crashes in the same way.
The XP VM is running but the networking is behaving strangely. Basic networking is working but I can't access the Workgroup although I can access network mounted SAMBA shares that I had previously setup. This could be a SAMBA issue but it started happening at the same time as my other problems.
Another problem that I had was that the virtual disks on multiple VMs on both systems became unbootable. I was able to fix this by removing the disks and then adding them back.
