I am trying to share my Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS screen. I am trying to access it using Chicken of the VNC from a mac.

I have turned on Screen Sharing on the Ubuntu computer via the settings and set a password. Remote Login is also on.

When I try to connect to the computer via Chicken of the Sea, I get: Connection Terminated Unknown authType 18

I can ssh into the Ubuntu computer.

I have done: >> sudo gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

I have also tried setting up a tunnel via ssh which works for connecting to my Centos Machine: >> ssh -L5900:127.0.0.1:5900 xxx@IPaddress

I have also tried using mac Screen Sharing following the directions at Log into Ubuntu from my Mac over VNC

When I do this I get: Connection failed to IPaddress: The software on the remote computer appears to be incompatible with this version of Screen Sharing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solved! Don't use sudo! Change gsettings for your own user, not for the root user.

Without sudo, type:

gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

(In the question, ran that command as root by prefixing it with sudo.)
