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.

you need an extra plugin for that one, do you have it installed?

Hi Sebastien,

I tried to apt search keywords about plugins and team, but in vain.
What is the package name of the team plugin?

Thanks,
Jim

Sorry, it looks like that plugin is part of the main package but Ubuntu is building without it because the library is in universe...

Hi Sebastien, can you clarify your last response? Is there a solution for this in 16.04?

[David Chen (david.chen)]

Same question here. Same configuration and steps work fine with 18.04, but team plugin not available in 16.04. Is there a solution for 16.04? Although I can still configure team runner using teamd, having nm to work will be good. Thanks
