I have an Arch linux box that is almost running perfectly but when i connect to the vncserver and the sreensaver turns the screen black, i am forced to reenter the password on the loginscreen of gnome but! and here is the problem,
this screen is constantly refreshed so i can't type more than two letters.
I keep every package updated with pacman -Syu.
I use tigervnc in version 1.3.1.1.
The connection is running over SSH.
Gdm in version 3.12.0-1.
Can anyone help here?

How are you running vnc server? Did you exported flagexport XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1for example?

Yes. I have already exported it.

Apr 15 '14 at 11:15
Then I don't know, I used tigervnc only for new sessions (ie. remote machine without running real xserver). When I needed to have a desktop shared with gdm I used x11vnc with gdm's Xauthority passed as argument and that worked like a charm. What else could be wrong with tigervnc I have no idea.

Even I searched a lot, but could not find a satisfactory answer on web. Here are possible workaround if you are unable to enter a password in vnc-client:-
- Press any Key to reach password field
- Use the Keyboard mouse to drag the locked screen from bottom to top direction

I just started having this problem a week ago on ubuntu 18.04 (I use vnc on a daily basis), and haven't found a good answer for why it has suddenly started. Especially given that I didn't perform any updates and have auto updates turned off.
However, I seem to have found a workaround: if I start a second instance of vnc I can connect to it and the login screen behaves normally. The login screen continues to work normally on the second vnc instance after killing the 1st. I changed nothing in the 'xstartup' between the two instances.
