TigerVNC viewer: no matching security types

I'm trying to control remotely the desktop of a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Jessie) from a Samsung Chromebook (ARM Arch Linux).



The vnc server in the pi is RealVNC.



The vnc viewer in the Chromebook is TigerVNC



I'm getting the following error when I try to connect to the server:



$ vncviewer

CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 5.0
CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.8
CConnection: No matching security types
CConn: No matching security types


As far as I understood by reading the man pages, vncviewer attempts by default every supported scheme



   -SecurityTypes sec-types
Specify which security schemes to attempt to use when authenti‐
cating with the server. Valid values are a comma separated list
of None, VncAuth, Plain, TLSNone, TLSVnc, TLSPlain, X509None,
X509Vnc and X509Plain. Default is to attempt every supported
scheme.


Is RealVNC using some encryption scheme that is not supported by TigerVNC?

    (Almost?) everything about VNC encryption and authentication is proprietary. Interoperability is very limited. I suggest you just use TigerVNC everywhere.

    The latest Rasbpian distro (with pixel) has RealVNC by default and I would like to keep it. I've installed RealVNC viewer from AUR in my chromebook
