Mac Screen Sharing (VNC) & White Screen

Sun, 02 May 2010 14:10:32 +0000

I've had problems connecting to my Ubuntu 9.10 server via Mac OS' built-in VNC client, "Screen Sharing". Frequently when I connect, I get a white screen with no indication that the connection is working. If I type characters or click the mouse, it does actually send those events to the remote side. My only option was to use Chicken of the VNC (which sucks) to connect to my server. Finally, I did some digging and found the solution/workaround.
