Ubuntu Edgy VNC password bug (and fix!)
November 30th, 2006
I’ve noticed after upgrading from Dapper to Edgy that my password for desktop sharing on my Ubuntu box wouldn’t work. I chalked it up to aftermath of an upgrade, but it kept happening at what seemed to be random times. I finally had my last straw today and decided to research it. A Google search first took me to this Ubuntu forum post, which then took me this bug report and also the workaround. After following the steps in the workaround, I rebooted and it was fixed! Thanks to KeesCook for posting the workaround.
