I need to install an older version of vino to get around this bug

How do I do that?

Specifically, I have xubuntu 14.04, freshly installed. Vino no longer wants to talk with my phone :(. 14.04 comes with vino 3.8.1. Previously, I was using 12.04 which had vino 3.4.2 which did work. Until they fix this bug, how to get around this?

BTW, yes, this is also in ubuntu's bug tracker: 1290666.

Before downgrading to the 13.10 version, try the workaround proposed in this bug report (disabling the encryption completely), by typing the following command in a Terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

To downgrade a package please visit How do I downgrade to Subversion 1.6?

In your case just update (temporarily) the sources.list file not with precise but saucy.

Once done, don't forget to lock the version with:

echo subversion hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections

  • Ah - I hadn't seen that bug report, and thus that workaround. Thanks! Apr 25, 2014 at 20:07

sudo apt-get install <application X> <Version X>

"application X" is the application that you want and "Version X" is the version. If you have application X installed at a newer version uninstall it by sudo apt-get remove application X to keep it configs files. To remove the configs files sudo apt-get purge application X
