Description Mykola Krachkovsky 2024-03-27 15:54:08 UTC
SUMMARY

KRDC 24.02.1 (as was 24.02.0) doesn't connect to MacOS Apple VNC Server. MacOS Monterey 12.6.6, MacMini late 2014.

OBSERVED RESULT
Connection hangs — neither connected nor timeouted.

EXPECTED RESULT
Connection expected to be successful as on v.23.08.4.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Have you tried any other VNC viewer?  

My current work-around is to use TigerVNC to reach a Linux remote.  I'm curious if it's the same for you.  I'm also on Tumbleweed.

For reference, here's the Tumbleweed bug reference - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1222019

TigerVNC doesn't support MacOS security type (it's not standard) so doesn't connect. My workaround to use older version of KRDC from this repo:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:wolfi323:branches:KDE:Frameworks5

It's installed into /opt, so could be installed at the same time as newer KRDC and works fine.
