[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 879686] Re: vnc connections don't work

[Julian Taylor]

** Changed in: gnome-rdp (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released

** Description changed:

  in the latest gnome-rdp release vnc sessions don't work. It depends on a non existant client program and uses wrong parameters to start the vnc process.
- This is fixed in 0.3.0.9-2 which will be synced to precise next run
+ This is fixed in 0.3.0.9-2.
  
  IMPACT:
  one of three possibilties to use remote desktop is unusable.
  
  FIX:
  use xtightvncviewer insted of hardcoded tight-vncviewer and pass the correct parameters to the process
  
  Regression potential:
  Low, changed code is isolated from core functionality and unusable in unpatched state.
  
  TESTCASE:
  make sure xtightvncviewer is installed
  add an identity (ip address or hostname of remote machine) and a vnc profile (any settings) to gnome rdp
  create a session for the identity-profile combination.
  connect to a pc allowing vnc connections (in system -> preferences -> remote desktop) using the session
  
  You get following backtrace in the log:
  Information: Creating process for tight-vncviewer  -noshared -depth 32
  Error: ApplicationName='tight-vncviewer', CommandLine=' -noshared -depth 32', CurrentDirectory='/'
