Hello all,

I want to access my Ubuntu desktop. I installed the latest Ubuntu and I enabled gnome's remote desktop. I allow clients to control the machine, which actually works. But the problem is vnc client (gnome-rdp, I also tried some other clients and all of them have the same problem) cannot display the changes on the screen. I can move the cursor. when I click a button in the client side, I can see my ubuntu desktop react to this click but the screen on the client is always the same as the one when it connects to the server. it seems any changes on the screen cannot be transmitted to the client. Does anyone have the similar problem? I don't know where I should look into.

Thanks,
Da

usually you can fix this by disabling compiz (desktop effects) on teh server side
