GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 625676
Disable "Connect to localhost" in Vinagre
Last modified: 2021-05-26 09:25:56 UTC
This report was originally filled at: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/398923 I have a suggestion for Vinagre. What do you think about disabling "localhost" as target for vpn? When you try to connect to "localhost", this is a recursive progress (see screenshot).

Connecting to localhost is a valid option if you are running KVM virtual machines on your local host. It would have to be more advanced, querying whether 'vino' is active and what port number it is listening on, in order to distinguish a local desktop VNC service from a KVM guest (or something else).
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Vinagre, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vinagre/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
