Bug Description
Binary package hint: xrdp
xrdp 0.4 logs in successfully with vnc4server. However the desktop is unusable, it being flashing [i.e clear/draw](ing) all the time.
Steps to reproduce: sudo apt-get install xvnc vnc4server vnc4-common
Connect to localhost with built-in Terminal Client
FIX: use tightvncserver instead....
To post a comment you must log in.
Can you expand on what you mean by "use tightvncserver instead" ?
Do you mean uninstall something else and replace it with tightvncserver? If so, what is that something else?
Do you mean change a configuration file to point to tinghtvncserver? If so, what configuration file?
Or something else?
On my 9.04 system using xrdp-0.4.0~dfsg-9, I also experience the flicker. The system is a default install of Ubuntu 9.04 plus xrdp, and it has several vnc packages installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep -i vnc 0.2-0ubuntu7 Virtual network computing server software 0.2-0ubuntu7 Virtual network computing server software

ii tightvncserver 1.3.9-4 virtual network computing server software
