VirtualBox VNC password rejected
I am trying to determine if the failure is with Ubuntu or VirtualBox.
Using Ubuntu MATE 16.04 with the Ubuntu repository 5.1.38 VirtualBox. To remotely connect I am trying to use VNC rather RDP from the proprietary extension pack. I verified the VNC extension pack is installed, both with the GUI and in /var/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/VNC. I created a password: Code:
vboxmanage modifyvm "Ubuntu" --vrdeproperty VNCPassword="test" I am using remmina but I see the same failure with xvnc4viewer. An nmap scan shows the configured port is open. Thanks. :) Note: The Oracle repository and *.run script are not solutions because the VNC extension pack is not included in those versions. |
This is just a way out guess. If you look at the VB section I posted in your other thread there are no quotes surrounding the secret. I would try
VNCPassword=test Not sure how vboxmanage accepts or parses the password. |

I have no idea what I might have done to fix this. This was indeed broken earlier today -- and yesterday when I first started testing. Originally I used quotation marks and the password was rejected. I don't know if the quotation marks affected the handshake. I have since tried a password with quotation marks, without, and with no password. Beats me. :scratch: |
Huh. Not my imagination after all. I tested on another system and experienced the same original issues.
And the problem returned on the first machine too. Nothing I do now gets VNC to succeed. |
