Public bug reported: This is confirmed on multiple machines running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 with GNOME 3.14.4. When I to into System Settings > Sharing, and enable "Screen Sharing" then put in all of my desired configuration settings, it doesn't automatically start vino-server to begin the sharing service, even after system reboot. I started the service manually by installing dconf-editor and going to org.gnome.desktop.remote-access and checking the box labeled "enabled". Immediately - verified by looking at System Monitor - the "vino-server" service started, and I was able to access my PC remotely from other machines.
In short - What was expected to happen - by enabling "Screen Sharing" from System Settings > Sharing, I would be immediately capable of accessing the shared PC from remote workstations on my network. What actually happened - I had to start the service manually via dconf- editor AFTER enabling "Screen Sharing" in System Settings (I did not test enabling before making changes in System Settings, however). Feel free to contact me if any additional info' is needed. Cheers. ** Affects: vino (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: screen-sharing sharing vino -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1458005 Title: Enabling "Screen Sharing" doesn't activate vino-server in 15.04 Status in vino package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is confirmed on multiple machines running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 with GNOME 3.14.4.
