The package in precise-proposed fixes this specific crash—thanks! https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651960 means Share My Desktop is still broken out of the box. That bug is fixed in vino 3.5 but the patches were not applied to 3.4 because they add a translatable string to the --help output. Without those patches, users must open Desktop Sharing preferences and tick [×] Allow other users to view your desktop (plus at least one of the first two Security options to avoid being a gaping vulnerability on untrusted networks); otherwise, Share My Desktop silently fails.
So backporting those patches would be nice to have but I understand that it's more work :) ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #651960 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651960 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997699 Title: Share My Desktop crashes Vino due to a buggy Ubuntu patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/997699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
