The ON/OFF switch in screen sharing tab is stuck in OFF position and is not reacting to clicks. Thus, screen sharing cannot be enabled.

In my case it is because I have only wired network access, but the network connection is "unmanaged" by NetworkManager (and does not show up on the networks page of gnome- control-center). This in turn leads to the networks list in the sharing dialog being empty. I had to jump through various hoops to get NetworkManager to manage the wired connection (I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 'Artful'), but as soon as the connection showed up on the networks page, the sharing dialog started working too. This exact same issue also affects the file sharing dialog, btw.

I believe the vast majority of people using Ubuntu won't be affected by this issue. https://launchpad.net/bugs/1733322 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control- center/+bug/1733322/comments/7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2017-12-18T21:22:37+00:00 45you-pop999grunt wrote: I have this problem too for my wired connection only. It is managed by Network Manager and yet it doesn't appear on the the Network List. If I connect to a Wifi network that will appear on the list and allow me to toggle on/off.

At request from a colleague I then tried to install ubuntu-desktop and enable screen sharing. However, this did not work as expected. When trying to enable screen sharing (same goes for file sharing), the enable button just jumps straight back to disabled when toggling it. I assumed this had something to do with the fact that the "networks" list at the bottom of the sharing dialog was empty. This appears in the syslog when trying to toggle: Nov 20 11:31:06 bcubuntu3 gnome-control-c[1054]: Failed to enable service vino-server: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Sharing cannot be enabled on this network, status is '0' This computer has only a single wired network connection (no wifi). This connection shows in the system menu as "Wired unmanaged" which seems to be the reason that it doesn't show up in the sharing dialogs. As a workaround, I tried the following things: 1. Change "managed=false" to "managed=true" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf as suggested in https://askubuntu.com/a/2905 2. Touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf as suggested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1676547 3. Change renderer to NetworkManager in /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml 1 and 2 was not enough to get NetworkManager to manage the wired interface, but 3, possibly together with one or both of the previous steps did the trick. When I finally got NetworkManager to manage the wired connection, it did show up in the sharing dialogs, and I was able to enable screen sharing. However, it would seem reasonable to be able to enable sharing even on unmanaged interfaces by some mechanism, especially since unmanaged interfaces seem to be the norm these days. ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.26.1-0ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.26.1-0ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.26.1-0ubuntu5 500 500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.26.1-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/1733322/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
