Public bug reported: After upgrading ubuntu desktop from 19.10 to 20.04, it's impossible to enable screen sharing. It used to work fine on 19.10.
When clicking the enable/disable toggle, the following message is logged in journalctl: Failed to enable service vino-server: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Sharing cannot be enabled on this network, status is '0' This is reproducible on both computers I've upgraded. They're both on the latest 20.04 package updates as of today. I've done some research to rule out common faults: $ cat /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml # Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager (Yes, I've ofc ran netplan apply, but the file already had this content anyway.) $ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no Also, this seems unrelated to #1871787: $ dpkg -l |grep gnome-settings-daemon ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.36.0-1ubuntu2 ii gnome-settings-daemon-common 3.36.0-1ubuntu2 ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876884 Title: Unable to enable screen sharing after upgrade to 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1876884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
