So I've had an otherwise-successful upgrade to Gnome 2.16, but I've
discovered my VNC/Vino password no longer works (and I'm remote now with
only ssh access... normally I tunnel VNC over ssh).
The VNC client still prompts me for a password, so the fact that Vino is
running is still being detected. But I keep getting "authentication failed".
Here's my ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access/%gconf.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="vnc_password" mtime="1148297146" type="string">
<stringvalue>xxxxxxxxx</stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="authentication_methods" mtime="1148297144"
type="list" ltyp
e="string">
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>vnc</stringvalue>
</li>
</entry>
<entry name="prompt_enabled" mtime="1148297143" type="bool"
value="false
">
</entry>
<entry name="enabled" mtime="1148297139" type="bool" value="true">
</entry>
</gconf>
I've run the password hash through a Base64 decoder and it's still what
it should be (what it was prior to upgrading to 2.16).
All that's in my auth.log is:
Oct 23 09:20:19 scott sshd[51865]: error: connect_to 127.0.0.1 port
5900: Connection refused
Oct 23 09:20:19 scott sshd[51865]: error: connect_to localhost port
5900: failed.
Strangely, only once do those lines appear, despite multiple failed
attempts.
This is a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE system, if it matters. Any ideas?
