Bug Description
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-server:
(vino-server:

I have read multiple tutorials outlining procedures to enable and connect to a vino-server. 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
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:

This was after I used the command, ssh -L 12345:localhost
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.
