Work Requirements: vncserver is installed in Ubuntu. After vncviewer connection is used, the input letter s or m is found, and the logout menu and message menu are displayed respectively.

I thought it was a problem with the vnc client. After several discoveries, this problem exists, and the client bug is eliminated.

Baidu and google have been around for a long time. It seems that few people have encountered this problem.

Fortunately, the search results list part of the article, a key url: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+bug/568401

After the indicator applet is enabled, it is found that the bug is caused by the indicator applet.

The repair procedure is as follows:

1. apt-get install apt-show-versions (install the application for viewing the ubuntu package version)

2. apt-show-versions | grep indicator-applet (view the installed indicator applet version)

We found that the installed version is 0.3.6, which has a bug.

3. apt-get install indicator-applet (updated to the latest version)

4. Restart vncserver. Everything is normal.

======================================

By the way, I checked what indicator applet does.

A small applet to display information from various applications consistently in the panel.

The indicator applet exposes Ayatana Indicators in the Gnome Panel. ayatana Indicators are an initiative by Canonical to provide crisp and clean system and application status indication. they take the form of an icon and associated menu, displayed (usually) in the desktop panel. existing indicators include the Message Menu, Battery Menu and Sound menu.
