It's hard for me to check: is this already released for kinetic? Since
the bug status says Fix Committed there.

Title:
gnome-control-centre crashes after enabling "Sharing"
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Jammy:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Impact
------
gnome-control-center uses gsettings schemas from the gnome-remote-desktop
package without being able to handle if those schemas are not installed.
Because gnome-control-center keeps track of which page was last
opened, it's not possible to simply ignore the Sharing page, a user
would need to manually open the Settings app to a different page or
else the Settings app won't run at all.
ubuntu-desktop and gnome-shell already Recommend gnome-remote-desktop
so most people won't experience this issue.
Test Case
---------
sudo apt remove gnome-remote-desktop
Run gnome-control-center
From the left sidebar, click Sharing
(The app crashes)
Install the update. The update will install gnome-remote-desktop.
Run gnome-control-center
The app should work like normal
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This only adds a hard dependency on gnome-remote-desktop.
Without this fix, the Sharing panel didn't work at all.
Original Bug Report
-------------------
After the crash, gnome-control-centre fails to launch again.
