Public bug reported:
Vino doesn't start until a particular user is logged in, and that user
has "desktop sharing" enabled. Consequently, unless "auto log-in" is set
for a user, and "desktop sharing" is enabled for that user, there is no
way to use VNC (vinagre) to log-in to a remote Ubuntu system. Vino
should be operable at the log-in phase (lightdm) to enable the very
basic functionality of remote access to a Ubuntu desktop system.
My suggestion is to have a way to start vino at the point where lightdm
is started. Even if I had to restart vinagre after logging in via
lightdm, at least it would be possible to remotely access the desktop
environment.
Alternatively, I have submitted a bug report on the fact that "auto log-
in" only functions on initial bootstrap - it doesn't function after log-
out.
