This should at the very least be a setting, or you should provide a way to hook an arbitrary screen sharing service into the control panel so a 3rd party developer can still provide an integrated interface to manage the service. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987159 Title: Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1987159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1987159] Re: Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic
I agree with the general consensus here. RDP is not "desktop interactive" and VNC is insecure, however, when SSH tunneling to the VNC localhost server, is very secure. Enabling Vino for Ubuntu Gnome desktop was brutally simple and easy, plus there is excellent support for using SSH to connect. PLEASE bring VNC (Vino) back to Ubuntu, especially the LTS versions! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987159 Title: Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1987159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1987159] Re: Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic
> I am struggling to find any use cases where GNOME's VNC should be preferred to RDP. 1) Teacher screen broadcasting to students. There, a shared VNC session is much easier to setup and performs better than separate RDP sessions. Additionally, encrypting e.g. 10 RDP streams comes with significant CPU strain, which is unnecessary in this use case. 2) The remote support use case. To help a remote user behind NAT, I only need to ask them to run `x11vnc -connect my-ip`. On my side, `vncviewer -listen` accepts the request for help. GNOME VNC could easily support that. But there's no `xfreerdp -listen` option in the RDP protocol. So in the RDP solution, the very frequent and significant "remote support" use case is completely ignored and we need to switch to teamviewer or anydesk instead. It's understandable though that if upstream GNOME neglects VNC, downstream Ubuntu will also do the same. And such decisions are why there's a growing list of users that can't use GNOME at all anymore... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987159 Title: Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1987159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1987159] Re: Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic
Are you insane ? RDP flat out does not work (as in, the Windows RDP client throws an exception, and yes I reported this bug years ago, and it is still not fixed) And some of us rely on VNC for, you know, getting actual work done. Now I have to go through a long exercise of down-grading my machine again to get a working installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987159 Title: Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1987159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
