Recommend a Solution for Broken Fedora Remote Desktop

Upgraded to Fedora 19 a few weeks ago and now remote access is broken. Every connection from any remote OS (or local) reports this message:

Code:

# testing locally

$ vncviewer 127.0.0.1



TigerVNC Viewer 64-bit v1.3.0 (20130724)

 CConn:      connected to host 127.0.0.1 port 5900

 CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.7

 CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.7

 CConnection: No matching security types

 CConn:      No matching security types

* Started with Settings > Sharing
* Enabled screen sharing
* Turned on all settings

I heard about a bug in Fedora where F19 ignores the gnome configuration and settings have to be applied at the dbus so I did that:

Code:

# gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

This had no effect on the 'No matching security types' error, so I opened the native dbus

Code:

# dconf-editor

Navigated to org.gnome.desktop.remote-access

Checked 'require-encryption', 'enabled' and several others settings and no go.

It appears that remote access to F19 is straight up broken.

Anyone recommend a functional remote desktop server I can install on this machine and be done with this problem?

Are you sure you have the ip address correct?

Sometimes it easy to miss out on the ip addresses.

Also check your firewall configuration just to make sure that everything is checked out OK.

I've disabled the firewall for testing

Code:

systemctl stop firewalld.service

Prior to shutting down the firewall I added a route to allow inbound connections

Code:

/etc/sysconfig/iptables

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT

This appears to be a known bug

That's why I'm asking if someone can recommend a solution where I can jetisson this broken gnome VNC implementation and go with a remote-desktop server product that works.
