Using Remmina and libvnc-0.9.12 I get a very garbled/fuzzy VNC connection. If I downgrade libvncserver to 0.9.11-r1 all is good. Somewhat odd as Remmina 1.3.1 mentions libvncserver-0.9.12 in its rel. notes.
Created attachment 563330 [details] Screenshot
I filed a bug upstream as well: https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/issues/1824
building libvncserver with USE="-ssl gnutls" makes it work.
FYI remmina 1.3.2 was just released.
complete confusion, depending on what computer I use, libvncserver may work. ATM, I still get the scrambled screen like the attached.
OK I am able to reproduce your issue. My test setup is qemu with "-vnc :0", with remmina vnc to localhost. I'm booting a gentoo minimal installcd and I see corruption on the "penguins" in the boot logo. I am not able to work around the issue with USE flag manipulation, though. I am able to work around it only by downgrading libvncserver to 0.9.11-r1.

Glad to hear that, I was going nuts here. My home computer works while work computer does not. USE=ssl SEGVs but USE=gnutls lives
I also tried to add in libvncserver: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release Mayby Remmina needs that ?
I did a git-bisect and narrowed the problem down to this commit on libvncserver: https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/commit/d7b14624cbb9ed7b9df3532658e1edba8da606a6

That gave me an idea, Currently I have High Color(16bits) and Quality Good and that corrupts. Changing to other values makes it work, like Quality Best
Are both of your machines (working & non-working) using libjpeg-turbo, or does one of them have media-libs/jpeg instead? As a side note, if I build libvncserver with USE=-jpeg, remmina segfaults, so we probably should add that USE requirement to the ebuild soon.
I can reproduce the issue with "quick connect" (iow I just select VNC type, and type localhost into the text entry box, and press enter), but when I manually create a new connection, I cannot seem to find a combination of settings that reproduce the problem.

At work none has media-libs/jpeg installed. Poppler will not build against it. At home I THINK it is the same. > > As a side note, if I build libvncserver with USE=-jpeg, remmina segfaults, > so we probably should add that USE requirement to the ebuild soon. hmm, that also feels like a bug. I first bilt remmina without vnc support and that made remmina SEGV too when trying to connect ti my VNC server

Started to install media-libs/jpeg instead but libvncsever wants to unstall it, is libvncserver not compatible with it?

I forced media-libs/jpeg by building libvncserver with ebuild cmd instead. It didn't help. Both jpeg libs causes the same corruption.
FYI this has been fixed upstream in libvncserver: https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/pull/340 If you'd like to apply this locally via /etc/portage/patches, that should fix your issue. If there isn't a new libvncserver release soon, I can ask our maintainers to backport it.

I know, I was there :) Already got it in /etc/portage/patches so I am good. Thanks a lot !
