Hello,
The screen sharing switch does not work in Budgie and hence no screen sharing is possible. The toggle to switch on screen sharing is disabled.
I have read about Ubuntu 22.04 having RDP as default sharing option. The share settings screen looks very different in some videos about 22.04, but Budgie’s seems the same as old Ubuntu versions.
Anyone else noticing this?
I have the same issue. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS from the Budgie download section.
I only have Wi-Fi so I am wondering if this migth have something to do with it…
Doesn’t work for ethernet connection either.
Yeah. The issue is that Canonical made changes within the very last few days before the release that fundamentally changed how ubuntu does sharing… and unfortunately broke sharing in budgie.
Needs more investigating on what to do.
Edit: this is one of the fundamental changes that broke sharing https://launchpadlibrarian.net/596364435/gnome-settings-daemon_42.1-1ubuntu1_42.1-1ubuntu2.diff.gz
For the moment the workaround is pretty simple
run in a terminal
systemctl start --user gnome-remote-desktop
Then in dconf-editor navigate to org.gnome.desktop.remote-desktop.vnc and tick the “enable” key
You will then be able to remmina using VNC to the host
Thank you very much @fossfreedom
Glad to see this is a known issue that will be addressed eventually.
I think I have a fix for this. I need someone to help test this, first via a test PPA. If this works, then willing to test officially when Canonical asks you to test.
Anyone willing to help out?
If so - please create a launchpad bug report:
ubuntu-bug budgie-control-center
Once done I will give further instructions how to do the initial test.
cheers for this. I need to-do a few more tweaks and I’ll update the bug-report when done.
ok - I’ve updated the bug report with the validation tests I think needs to be done.
Please do check carefully - you can edit the description and update the tests/make corrections/more tests
Obviously the install from the proposed repo comes later
the test PPA is
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/vnc
sudo apt upgrade
Once you have completing testing and validated the instructions you can remove and downgrade the packages via
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/vncI updated the bug with my test results. This is my first and I hope that is the right way to post updates from the test.
Screen sharing via VNC seems to be working correctly with the proposed changes.
Thats an upload report for kinetic i.e. 22.10
Today i will tidy up the test scenario using your results and then submit the fixes for jammy.
Following the fix and testing, it appears the issue is solved.
Thanks @fossfreedom and others involved.
