vino-server does not open IGD ports on UPnp router

[zebul666]

When I run vino-preferences, and
 - choose to let other to connect
 - and let others take control of my PC,
 - with each acces that must be confirmed
 - but wihtout a password
 - and with "Let automaticallly open ports on UPnP router"

no port is ever open on the router (i.e 5800 and 5900)

I have checked this on 2 different setups (pc-router).

running ubuntu 15.10, and using a tp-link td-W8960N modem-router, even after a logout-relogin, upnpc (miniupnpc client) does not show me that IGD ports 5800 or/and 5900 is open.

however, I can check with netstat that those ports are open on localhost/my PC.

it's the same with another ubuntu 15.10 and a freebox revolution v3.1.6 using UPnp IGD v1 or v2

If it's a security feature vecause I don't use a password to allow connection, then the checbox "LEt automaticcaly open port on router" should be grayed out.

ufw is not enabled on the first PC.

And even after disabling it on the 2nd PC, the same thing happened i.e. nothing= no port opened on router

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

the issue should be fixed with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/3.8.1-0ubuntu9.1 ... can you try that version and see it works for you?
