** Description changed: NOTE ==== - This adds a dependency on mutter 42.1 so mutter 42.1 needs to reach jammy-updates (and I assume fully phased) before we let this update in to jammy-updates. + This adds a dependency on mutter 42.1 so mutter 42.1 needs to reach jammy-updates (and I assume fully phased) before we let this update in to jammy-updates. The dependency was added to not regress support for Nvidia users. Impact ------ - TODO + This is a new stable release in the GNOME 42 series - Test Case - -------- - TODO + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/blob/42.1.1/NEWS + + + Test Case #1 + ------------ + Install all updates. Log out and log back in. + Open the Settings app to the Sharing page. Turn on Sharing and turn on Remote Desktop Sharing. + Turn it off then on because there may be a gnome-control-center bug with initial enabling. + + From a second computer, connect to the first computer using Remmina. + + The Remote Desktop page on the first computer provides the username and + password to use. I wasn't able to get the "Remote Desktop Address" to + work (maybe avahi doesn't work well?) so just use the first computer's + IP address. + + So something like: + RDP jeremy@192.168.1.1 + + Ensure that the connection works. + + Test Case #2 + ------------ + Do test case #1 but this time also enable the Legacy VNC option on the Remote Desktop Sharing page. + Connect using VNC instead and ensure that the connection works. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- - TODO + RDP Sharing is a new feature for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as part of GNOME 42. (Previously only VNC Sharing was offered.) + + RDP Sharing can be used for providing remote support so it's important + that this feature works well because it may be difficult for the remote + admin to fix issues in person. + + gnome-remote-desktop is part of GNOME Core and falls under the GNOME + Stable Release Update microrelease exception + + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME
