MacOS – VNC Vinagre to OS X Lion

macosremote desktopunix

I've got a Linux Ubuntu 10.10 machine running Vinagre (VNC client) and I can't seem to be able to connect to my spanking new Mac mini on Lion. All I get on the Vinagre side is a blank screen.

VNC Vinagre needs an update to cope with the Lion changes.

You could:

  • use another client that works well with the Lion
  • use another VNC server on Lion and not use the system server

We're still looking to nail down the changes that Lion made, but it's clear the new VNC server doesn't work well with a handful of existing clients that worked before an upgrade to Lion.

Are the changes to Lion's screen sharing documented anywhere publicly?
