VNC viewer from Linux to Mac keeps hanging

[jerrry94087]

I use vnc-4.1.3 from Linux. When I run vncviewer <ip> it quits right after login. When I run vncviewer -AutoSelect=0 -FullColor <ip> it shows the picture, but it usually freezes very fast after login, or immediately after login. Only few times I was able to use it for half hour.

My network is gigabit. That same vncviewer is very stable when connected to another linux.

What could be wrong with connecting to Mac?

Which vnc server is running on the Mac?

The one that is enabled from System Preferences/Sharing/Remote Management

Sometimes the built-in Mac OS X VNC server doesn't work with clients on other platforms. Try using a different Mac VNC server program such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/

I think that the problem is the clipboard. If you activate vncviewer like this:

vncviewer -SendClipboard=0 -AcceptClipboard=0 -FullColour -PreferredEncoding=ZRLE <ip>

freezes should stop. Of course, copy&paste is not possible any more.
