Every time I try to connect to my Mac (Yosemite 10.10.1) using VNC the application crashes. I get asked for username and password then KRDC dies. Same thing happens if I enter the valid credentials, invalid credentials, or cancel without providing any credentials. Using KRDC 4.14.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Connect to mac VNC server Enter any password or cancel without a password Actual Results: KRDC crashes Expected Results: KRDC should have showed the Mac desktop. I've been using KRDC with Ubuntu Precise (12.04) for years without any problems. Yesterday I switched to Ubuntu Utopic (14.10) and now KRDC crashes every time I try to connect to my Mac.
Created attachment 90706 [details] Crash report Here is the stacktrace & crash report generated by KDE. The automatic bug submission did not work.
I found the same bug reported in Debian, here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758635
The bug is in libvncserver, here https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/issues/45 The fix is here https://github.com/maxnet/libvncserver/commit/4674d4632b9ffc6779d9c9f79b8ebb53c12e29b2 I applied this patch to the libvncserver source package in Ubuntu Utopic, rebuild and installed the package, and now KRDC works!
