[Bug 1950461] Re: gnome-remote-desktop is not installed by default

[Daniel van Vugt]

I think these are the dependencies that are arguably too weak, causing
remote desktop to not work in minimal installs:

gnome-shell recommends gnome-remote-desktop
pipewire-bin recommends pipewire-media-session

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 21.10 - minimal install on a fresh machine

  apt install vino

  Open the gnome settings dialog and go to the Sharing tab. I would
  expect to see the screen sharing slider but it is not there.

  Searching around I found a suggestion to use Ubunutu with Xorg but
  this makes no difference.

  This behaviour is also present in 21.04.

  I have put gnome-control-center as the package at fault as this is
  ultimately where I observe the issue but it may be that during the
  install of vino makes the gnome configuration change and this step is
  missed.

  I have enquired on askubuntu and reddit but have not received a
  response so decided to report this

  gnome-control-center 1:40.0-1ubuntu5 is installed
  vino 3.22.0-6ubuntu3
