Title:
Desktop sharing in Empathy in 11.04 disabled when chatting with
Empathy in 10.04
Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
Incomplete
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: empathy
A friend of mine has been using Ubuntu 10.04. Because he has some
newer hardware, I recommended that he upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04,
which fixes some issues. I'm still using Ubuntu 10.04, and we
typically use the screen sharing feature in Empathy to allow me to
remotely log into his machine and fix things when needed.
Unfortunately, now that he's upgraded, it seems that, when he chats
with me using Empathy, the "Share My Desktop" menu item on his end is
disabled. However, when I use 11.04, his "Share My Desktop" option is
enabled, and works as expected. Furthermore, when I'm in 10.04 and he
is in 11.04, I can invite him to share my desktop, and this also works
as expected.
From a user's perspective, then, it seems that the upgrade from
Empathy in 10.04 to 11.04 broke backwards compatibility between the
screen sharing feature of these two versions of Empathy, such that the
newer version cannot invite the older version to share the newer
version's desktop.
