Button to enable VNC desktop sharing missing in settings menu

[Joe Smith]

Not sure exactly where this enable vnc button should be.

Raspberry Pi has it in a Raspberry Pi configuration page.

So maybe there's lubuntu config panel

I found this panel https://imgur.com/vTqiMT1 might be a good place for that button

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 1942174

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

(this bug maybe marked 'opinion' as "Lubuntu & LXQt aim at being 'light' and features like this work against the lightness". Where you actually suggest adding it, would need to be done by LXQt so the bug maybe be better filed upstream with LXQt https://github.com/lxqt/ )

Yeah, it would be great to see VNC and ssh options in "Settings"

I would settle for a console command that install VNC and makes sure it starts on boot, before the login manager and stays running even if it crashes or some for some random reason.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as "apt install vnc" for some obscure historical reason

Also it would be great if instead of VNC, there was a way to do the same thing but with the new level of performance expect by the likes of nvidia gamestream / steam steamlink and wireless displays like WiDi and MS-MICE. It's clearly the future of remote control of desktop, but the future isn't on linux yet !

For sshd, at least that should be as easy as sudo apt install sshd ; rc-update add sshd default or whatever the current syntax is to add services to boot. That one is a little easier since it's not related to any running x windows server
