** Description changed: + Impact + ------ + gnome-control-center uses gsettings schemas from the gnome-remote-desktop package without being able to handle if those schemas are not installed. + + Because gnome-control-center keeps track of which page was last opened, + it's not possible to simply ignore the Sharing page, a user would need + to manually open the Settings app to a different page or else the + Settings app won't run at all. + + ubuntu-desktop and gnome-shell already Recommend gnome-remote-desktop so + most people won't experience this issue. + + Test Case + --------- + sudo apt remove gnome-remote-desktop + Run gnome-control-center + From the left sidebar, click Sharing + (The app crashes) + Install the update. The update will install gnome-remote-desktop. + Run gnome-control-center + The app should work like normal + + What Could Go Wrong + ------------------- + This only adds a hard dependency on gnome-remote-desktop. + + Someone who doesn't want gnome-remote-desktop functionality will need to + disable it. (It's not turned on by default.) + + Other Info + ---------- + One way to forcefully disable gnome-remote-desktop systemwide is to use dconf lockdown to force gnome-remote-desktop off. + https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/dconf-lockdown.html + + Original Bug Report + ------------------- After the crash, gnome-control-centre fails to launch again.
