I worked for many years with ubuntu nas server. Now last week I updated my server from 13:10 to 14:04. That in itself went well except Remote Desktop. The server is in the attic and I control it from my work PC thru VNC. After the update, this no longer works and VNC gives the following message: No supported authentication methods!

I have vnc server installed as a separate application, but I also get the same error message. When I look at my settings, everything is still the same.

Does anyone know how I can "fix" it without reinstall ubuntu?

Thanks for the help.

Seems that vino was changed to require encryption by default, but only supports old encryption methods that are not commonly available.

This is a workaround till they fix it:

1. Install dconf-editor: sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
2. Start it.
3. Navigate to: org > gnome > desktop > remote-access
4. Disable "require-encryption"

(from this thread on discourse).

Other way to fix it is disable vino and only use x11vnc server. x11vnc will work as long as no other desktop screening or screen sharing program is active.
