Public bug reported: Availability ============ Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian.
Rationale ========= GNOME switched to Wayland by default in the 3.22 release 2 years ago. Ubuntu followed that lead and defaulted to Wayland with 17.10 but switched back to X for 18.04 LTS. One key feature that the Ubuntu Desktop team supports with X and wants to continue supporting with Wayland is remote desktop. Therefore, I think this MIR is a blocker to enabling Wayland by default for 20.04 LTS. This MIR depends on the pipewire MIR (LP: #1802533) GNOME Remote Desktop ==================== To enable GNOME's remote desktop feature in Ubuntu, you need: - Build mutter with --enable-remote-desktop This has been done in Debian but we need pipewire in Ubuntu main to enable on Ubuntu - Install gnome-remote-desktop (MIR bug not filed yet) - I suggest uninstalling vino to make sure you will be using gnome- remote-desktop - Restart your computer - Log in to the Ubuntu on Wayland session. I believe it should work on X too but there is a misconfiguration in GNOME: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/212 - Open the Settings app to the Sharing page. Turn on Sharing in the app's top bar. Click Screen Sharing and turn it on. Only VNC is supported at this time. - Use remmina (Ubuntu's default app) or another VNC client like Remmina to connect from another computer. Security ======== No known security issues https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/gnome-remote-desktop https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-remote-desktop/+cve I expect the Security Team will want to review this MIR. Quality assurance ================= - Ubuntu Desktop bugs needs to be subscribed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-remote-desktop https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gnome-remote-desktop https://gitlab.gnome.org/jadahl/gnome-remote-desktop/issues No autopkgtests. No build tests. Dependencies ============ pipewire Standards compliance ==================== 4.2.1, debhelper compat 11, simple dh7 style rules Maintenance =========== Co-maintained in Debian with the Debian GNOME team upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/jadahl/gnome-remote-desktop https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop Other Info ========== I think Debian Buster "10" GNOME will include GNOME Remote Desktop by default. Fedora 29 will include it by default soon (it looks like an oversight that it wasn't done before the 29 release). Once this MIR is approved, we should be able to demote vino to universe. ** Affects: gnome-remote-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: disco -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1802614 Title: [MIR] gnome-remote-desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-remote-desktop/+bug/1802614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
