no matching security types again and again !!!!

[James Weatherall]

Patrick,

The log indicates that the server you are connecting to claims to support
RFB 3.888, which is not a valid version of the RFB protocol - valid versions
are 3.3, 3.7, 3.8 and 4.0.

Where did you get the faulty server software from? 

Regards,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
