I just switched from Gnome to Xubuntu (adding the xubuntu-desktop
to my laptop) because I decided that with an Atom processor and 2G of RAM the full gnome shell experience is a bit, well, slow.
All is ok but for the remote desktop sharing.
I can activate vino-server
correctly following these instructions (or similar --- there was the entry in the session manager already), so far so good.
The problem is that vino-preferences
has been removed from the vino
package (1)--- see this bug report for more info. It says (in Spanish) that now the vino preferences have to be set from the "Sharing->Desktop Sharing" in gnome-control-center
. I have the gnome-user-share
package installed.
But under Xubuntu running gnome-control-center
gives just a minimal thing (correctly, I think), and I cannot find any way to reach the preferences settings of vino
.
By the way, the server works (I am connected with it now), thanks to the fact that I had the preferences set up from the previous Gnome desktop session... but how can I access them in Xubuntu?
(1) See:
(1)asus-romano:~% dpkg -L vino | grep pref
(1)asus-romano:~%
although:
(1)asus-romano:~% apt-file search vino-preferences
app-install-data: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/vino:vino-preferences.desktop
vino: /usr/bin/vino-preferences
vino: /usr/share/applications/vino-preferences.desktop
vino: /usr/share/vino/vino-preferences.ui
...probably referred to some older package.
