Hello all, I have spent the morning messing with KRFB and can't seem to connect to my Kubuntu machine properly from Vista Ultimate. Here is what i've tried:
Opened KRFB and allow incoming invitations.
Opened Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) in Vista and told it to connect to my Kubuntu box (192.168.1.106:5900). When I hit connect a popup comes up on Kubuntu, to which I hit ACCEPT, and at the same time the RDC on my vista machine errors out saying that the protocols aren't correct.
I then downloaded TightVNC to my Vista machine. I am able to connect but the graphics are extremely distorted. Looking at the screen on my ubuntu box it is clear that the mouse position is off horizontally by about 3 inches, so when it looks like I'm clicking to minimize a window, in fact I am 3 inches away from the actual button.
Then I tried UltraVNC on my Vista machine. It has the same issues that TightVNC did as far as the graphics being distorted and the cursor position being incorrect.
What gives? Is there anything I can install on my Kubuntu box that will accept INCOMING connections for RDC? Clearly it has the button to connect TO windows boxes, but I haven't found anything to accept incoming...
