Bug Description
[ Impact ]
Toggling "Remote Control" doesn't apply the value to the RDP service
[ Test case 1]
0. Install the updated gnome-control-
1. Open the Settings app
2. In the left sidebar, choose Sharing.
3. Turn on sharing in the top bar of the app the click Remote Desktop
4. Turn on Remote Desktop
5. Turn on "Enable Legacy VNC Protocol"
6. Turn on Remote Control
7. Open a terminal and run
grdctl status
View-only: No and Status: enabled should show for both RDP and VNC.
[ Test case 2]
Complete Test Case 1. Then
From a second computer, connect to the first computer using Remmina.
The Remote Desktop page on the first computer provides the username and password to use. Just use the first computer's IP address.
So something like:
RDP jeremy@192.168.1.1
Ensure that the RDP connection works and that you can remotely control the first computer from the second computer.
Disconnect.
Then reconnect but switch the protocol in Remmina to VNC
So something like:
VNC jeremy@192.168.1.1
Ensure that the VNC connection works and that you can remotely control the first computer from the second computer.
[ Regression Potential ]
Remote control setting does not work for VNC, changing settings manually from gsettings isn't immediately reflected by the UI.
[ Workaround ]
If you are affected by this issue, you can use this workaround on the machine that you are trying to connect to.
Open a terminal and enter this command:
gsettings set org.gnome.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control- center - 1:42.2-1ubuntu1
--------------- center (1:42.2-1ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=medium
gnome-control-
* debian/patches: Drop applied upstream and update old to use Gtk4 and Adw. patches/ ubuntu/ window- Stop-using- HdyLeaflet. patch so it's better lorsRow) so that it can be easily included in other widgets
Some have been dropped as not relevant anymore.
While usage of AdwLeaf is now too invasive to do a revert as per
debian/
if we just help fixing the issues upstream.
* debian/patches: Ensure VNC/RDP remote control setting is honored
(LP: #1977663)
* debian/patches: Drop workaround for X-SnapInstanceName.
It's in snapd for 3 years now, we can safely assume we support it.
* background: Allow configuring the ubuntu accent color.
Move the ubuntu colors configuration to a single widget
(CcUbuntuCo
with minimal changes.
We keep resources and the widget itself compiled together with the ubuntu
panel, so that there's no need to change multiple panels build scripts,
given that these are per-process anyways.
Helps with LP: #1968213
* ubuntu-colors-row: Do not change themes on startup (or on user changes)
Do not override user themes unless an user has explicitly selected a
color theme. This applies to both the user theme and the icons, as we
want a consistent experience. But users could still use tweaks to change
them.
At the same time, avoid changing the gedit color scheme if an user
previously set a non-Yaru theme. (LP: #1968213)
* debian/patches: Ensure both VNC and RDP settings are disabled if requested
(LP: #1971415)
