Problem Description
Simple. Remmina used to be capable of connecting to VNC as exposed by VMware, but no longer can. I install Vinagre along side of Remmina, now, and Vinagre handles exactly the same connections with no issues. Remmina throws up a blank screen momentarily, and then closes it. No error messages, no nothing.
This applies to VMs on localhost as well as other servers on my Intranet using either hostname.local or IP-address.
What is the expected correct behavior?
I expect Remmina to do what Vinagre does, and display a VNC client window. Remmina DOES work with RDP and SSH, just not VNC.
