VNC regression after routine update: no longer able to connect from MacOS

[minfrin]

After a routine update of all packages on raspberry pi OS, VNC is not broken from MacOS.

The Mac side reports the following:

default	10:11:30.992930+0100	Screen Sharing	server major version 5 minor version 0
default	10:11:31.006700+0100	Screen Sharing	server decided it is not compatible

The pi side reports the following:

Sep 28 09:48:33 raspberrypi vncserver-x11[13368,root]: Connections: disconnected: 192.168.220.12::56766 (TCP) ([ConnFailed] No configured security type is supported by 3.3 VNC Viewer)

The pi needs to provide a VNC server that works out the box, and doesn't regress arbitrarily. It looks like support for realvnc is largely dead, with no updates to https://github.com/RealVNC in the last 18 months.

Can the vnc server be swapped on the PI for something supported?

As mentioned in today's blog post, amongst other announcements, we're well on the way towards releasing the next version of Raspberry Pi OS, Bookworm. With the arrival of Bookworm we switch out X11 for Wayland, and the VNC Server on the Raspberry Pi, to WayVNC. To connect to WayVNC from other computers we recommend TigerVNC as the client.
