TightVNC error:server did not offer supported security type

[abpriest]

I will try to keep this straight-forward.

Yesterday I was able to access an ubuntu 10.10 (edubuntu) desktop using the tightVNC viewer that I installed on my Vista laptop. I never set anything up on the desktop it just worked and I didn't question it.

Today I get the following error on the viewer software: "Server did not offer supported security type" The only thing that has changed was that I installed a bunch of updates yesterday afternoon, but I am not sure what changed.

Ideas?

please make sure that the options to view and control your desktop are enabled. to do that please tipe the following in terminal: vino-preferences

and check options for control and view at the top of the window

good luck
