    vino-server remote desktop giving me fits intrepid

    If I turn off Remote Desktop Sharing through the default Intrepid menus, I can install krfb and access it with krdc from another computer on the lan. When I do so, it works, but terribly.

    If I remove krfb and enable desktop sharing through the Remote Desktop icon in the menu, I cannot connect to the server. I have a default intrepid install and didn't have this problem at all in hardy.

    I am sorry to post such little detail. It appears that the vino-server is not allowing any connections. Is this a permissions issue? I have tried all the permutations of the settings in the gui, but is there a config file that needs tweaking?

    Like I said, krfb is working (poorly), but the vino-server is not. I am asking for pointers in the right direction.

    I can telnet in when krfb is running, but netstat doesn't seem to see the open port:

    chris@chris-desktop:~$ netstat -lnp | grep 5900
    (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
    will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
    chris@chris-desktop:~$
    chris@chris-desktop:~$
    chris@chris-desktop:~$ telnet 192.168.0.122 5900
    Trying 192.168.0.122...
    Connected to 192.168.0.122.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    RFB 003.008
    ^ exit
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    chris@chris-desktop:~$

    When running the default vino-server:

    chris@chris-desktop:~$ netstat -lnp | grep 5900
    (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
    will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
    chris@chris-desktop:~$ telnet 192.168.0.122 5900
    Trying 192.168.0.122...
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
    chris@chris-desktop:~$

    When I try to connect the default Remote Desktop View to:192.168.0.122:5900, the error is:
    Connection to host "192.168.0.122:5900" was closed.

    Thanks for any help.

    Don't know why, but changing to a nonstandard port in the Remote Desktop Configuration Advanced settings made it all start working.
