The TightVNC message leads me to believe that the arguments that are being passed are not correct.

Without giving any sensitive information (such as user / pass) can you tell me what settings you are using for this vnc connection?

Does changing any of the settings get you past the error? If so, which.

[James P Michels III (james-p-michels)]

Also, does the error still occur with "encodings" set to "auto"?

[Shahar Or (mightyiam)]

Dear Kamujin,

This happens when:

1. Encoding is set to anything but auto
2. Pixel format is set to anything but auto
3. Connection type is set to Shared

Many blessings.

I edited the title of this bug report to reflect the new information.

It is my understanding that you can work around the problem by avoiding certain configurations. Can you confirm?

I will take a look to see if I can determine why those settings are causing you problems.

[Shahar Or (mightyiam)]

I confirm.

[James P Michels III (james-p-michels)]

Within the last version or two, gnome-rdp was modified to use xtightvncviewer. However, a command line argument "-Autoselect=0" which has no meaning to xtightvncviewer is still being added to the argument list when you using anything but the auto setting for encodings and pixel format.

I do not know why "shared is not working yet".

I am marking this bug as confirmed and I will work on a bug fix.
