VNC Screen Vanishes and VNC Exits on connection...

[rmcinnes]

Following a successful login, and connection, the initial UltraVNC screen appears only briefly before it vanishes, and UltraVNC exits...

I can make a successful UltraVNC connection to the Apple OSX Leopard Server via another Notebook on the same network.

I have installed UltraVNC Viewer Version 1.0.4 RC17, [uninstalled RC16 and installed RC17] which did not clear the problem.

Also checked
* remote machine does not have a screen saver active,
* disabling Hardware Acceleration in display properties had no effect.

Would appreciate some guidance on troubleshooting this anomaly.

Resolved...
Installed Version 1.0.5 [uninstalled 1.0.4 RC17], but behavior unchanged...
UltraVNC 1.0.2 and 1.0.5 worked fine on another Notebook on the same network.

Solution...
Redefined the VNC Password in the Apple MacMini OSX 10.5.4 Server.

I am having the about same problem using windows pc's. I can login ok, but after I connect my remote screen shows for about 2 seconds and then disappears. Any ideas?

I suggest you revert to Ultra VNC version 1.0.2 [Stable]...
Uninstall any later version you may have on your PC first..
Then down load and install 1.0.2.

As mentioned in [post=57119][/post] , turning off auto selection of connection speed appears to work around this bug. Hope this helps others as it helped me.

Thanks for this - I've had this issue for a while and couldn't work out why my server kept disconnecting.

In my case I found it wasn't the connection speed but the colour settings - anything OTHER than 'Full Colour' didn't work.

Thanks again
