Title:
Screen sharing switch does not work in Budgie 22.04
Status in budgie-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in budgie-control-center source package in Jammy:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Impact]
* Remote Desktop Sharing is a capability that Budgie supports through its
GNOME Control Center equivalent called
Budgie Control Center
* Through our community forum it has been reported that Remote Desktop
Sharing is not working
* The issue has been tracked back to Ubuntu itself sync'ing
gnome-remote-desktop & gnome-settings-daemon very late into the cycle
which broke how VNC sharing was enabled - it is now enabled via systemd -
previously it was enabled via gnome-settings-daemon
which budgie-control-center used to enable.
* To support remote desktop sharing we have imported the systemd code from
gnome-control-center into our fork and rewritten
how the enabling occurs. We have done this to ensure the existing
interface is not changed rather than trying to
import the wholescale RDP & VNC graphical changes gnome-control-center
made just before the 22.04 release date.
[Test Plan]
* Without the package update the follow issue occurs:
1. Open budgie-control-center - choose the Sharing side tab
2. Slide the switch toggle on the headerbar to enable the other sharing
options below
3. click on the Screensharing -> arrow
4. This will open a dialog
5. Attempt to click the switch toggle on the new dialog to enable sharing.
This will be disabled which means sharing is disabled
6. Close budgie-control-center and restart budgie-control-center again
7. Note that screensharing will have a "no" next to the arrow.
8. Confirm this by trying to remmina (or using your favourite VNC client)
to the desktop VNC Name / IP Address
* Enable the proposed repo and then install the updates - the following
packages
needs to be installed
sudo apt install budgie-control-center budgie-control-center-data
* Test screensharing:
1. Open budgie-control-center - choose the Sharing side tab
2. Slide the switch toggle on the headerbar to enable the other sharing
options below
3. click on the Screensharing -> arrow
4. This will open a dialog
5. Click the switch toggle on the new dialog to enable sharing.
6. Close budgie-control-center and restart budgie-control-center again
7. Note "Yes" will be shown next the the screensharing -> arrow.
8. Confirm sharing is enabled by trying to remmina (or using your favourite
VNC client) to the desktop VNC Name / IP Address
9. Confirm the other options shown in the dialog work as expected i.e.
disconnect first from remmina, change the option and connect.
* Regression testing
The testing to ensure no regressions occur in this area.
1. Connect to the screensharing host with the other sharing options
[Where problems could occur]
* The changes are specifically around sharing handling
Since this is in a budgie specific package (budgie-control-center)
this will not impact any other desktop.
* The changes are in the same code section of budgie-control-center for all
other sharing options
* Thus from a regression view point handling of any sharing capability may
be impacted.
* From a mitigation point of view - in the unlikely event of an issue
occuring, Ubuntu Budgie
also ships with gnome-control-center which can be used to handle sharing.
Note GCC prior to 22.04 has always been used to sharing.
[Other Info]
* N/A
----
The screen sharing switch does not work in Budgie control center and
hence no screen sharing is possible. The toggle to switch on screen
sharing is disabled.
Ubuntu 22.04 seems to have RDP as default sharing option. The share
settings screen looks very different in some videos about standard
Ubuntu 22.04, but Budgie’s seems the same as earlier Ubuntu versions.
