I think these are the dependencies that are arguably too weak, causing remote desktop to not work in minimal installs:

I would expect to see the screen sharing slider but it is not there. Searching around I found a suggestion to use Ubunutu with Xorg but this makes no difference. This behaviour is also present in 21.04. I have put gnome-control-center as the package at fault as this is ultimately where I observe the issue but it may be that during the install of vino makes the gnome configuration change and this step is missed. I have enquired on askubuntu and reddit but have not received a response so decided to report this gnome-control-center 1:40.0-1ubuntu5 is installed vino 3.22.0-6ubuntu3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1950461/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
