Krdc/Krfb remote desktop doesn't work
by zalmox from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HG7P)
I have two PCs on the same LAN, both Debian 12 with KDE. I installed Krfb on one and Krdc on the other.
When I try to connect from the client, Krdc to the server Krfb, I get the popup on the server asking for permission to allow the connection. I confirm, and the client comes up again with the popup to enter the password, stating that "authentication failed". I tried Remmina as a client and same issue happen.
The two PCs don't have a firewall set up or any other security running. Running nmap against the server confirms that port 5900, the default for Krfb is listening. It should be a straightforward connection. The internet doesn't have much at all on something like this. Any ideas?
