Gnome 46 Desktop Sharing and Remote Login missing?

Masternaka

Hello, I would like to know if anyone knows why the new Desktop Sharing and Remote Login function in Gnome 46 is not present in Solus. On my system, the preference panel gives me a completely black page? The preference page should look like this image.

Seems like that functionality needs both rygel and gnome-user-share. I'm not sure both are installed in Solus GNOME by default. Could also be that the Control Center needs to be rebuilt with both of those as build dependencies. I haven't checked yet.

edit: Actually it might only need one of them.

Is this a problem I can fix myself or the solus devs need to do it?

So I'm currently not in a GNOME session to test, but it looks like that should be fixed by adjusting the standard package selection for the GNOME desktop in Solus. Unless something else is going on here.

You could try install rygel and/or gnome-user-share and see if it fixes that menu for you. If not, then something is probably off with the gnome-control-center package, and you can't fix that yourself (without getting into Solus packaging, that is)

I can confirm that by installing rygel, gnome-user-share and gnome-remote-desktop, it corrects this issue.
