vncviewer fails to connect (fedora-29)
So I already fixed this but thought I'd drop the solution here for posterity.
I have 2 fedora-29 boxes. I want to use (tiger-)vncserver and (tiger-)vncviewer in the usual way. Trouble is, it was consistently failing to make the connection:
$ vncviewer <server-name>
....
CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.8
CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.8
CConnection: Choosing security type VeNCrypt(19)
CVeNCrypt: Choosing security type TLSVnc (258)
TLS: TLS Handshake failed: An illegal TLS extension was received.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Similar things happen with rimmini.
Solution follows ...
ssl vnc

Eliminating TLSVnc from the list of allowed security types gave me a win:
$ vncviewer -FullScreen -SecurityTypes None,VncAuth,Plain,TLSNone,TLSPlain,X509None,X509Vnc,X509Plain <server-name>
I'm very interested if anyone has a better solution eg fixing my TLS - I have no idea what I might have broken. A clue - I recently upgraded the remote end (where I run vncserver) from f-24 (where it worked flawlessly) to f-29. I made no changes on the workstation end (ie where I run vncviewer).
