Remmina VNC: Unknown Authentication scheme
-
I haven't used Remmina much, but know that it's there to use when I need it. I discovered today that it will do VNC connections as well, perfect - one program to access both systems I normally use.
Thus the error I get when trying to connect to a system (rPi 3) via VNC. I get the following error:
It seems that realVNC will work, I had to install this over tightVNC under Windows - I had hopes here on Ubunut 17.10 that Remmina would work... but alas..
And yes, I Googled - Seems most just revert to realVNC.

You can fix this by changing the authentication method on the server if you want.

I just wanted to chime in and say sorry you have to use VNC.

Well,.. I don't have to use VNC. But VNC is native to the rPi distro installed. I could install something like x2goserver, but even that has given me some trouble.

I’d just use X11 forwarding.

I believe this is the first time I have heard of x11 forwarding - so while I google it,.. I have no ideas about it.

That is what I do as well. X2Go makes it super easy as you can use SSH from anywhere.

X11 is how we used to always do it. The whole concept of remote desktops comes from it.

I sense now is a good time for you to do one of your famous How Tos on this topic.
Edit to correct wording - HTH did famous get to be family

I assume you have been working a lot with Windows for this not to happen
