Hi,
I was going through most frequent crashers in Fedora 25 and vino is in
TOP10. When I looked at it I realized it crashed on Wayland because for
screen sharing you need X. [1]
It's a bit unfortunate that we have vino, which by default doesn't
work, in the default installation and its functionality is exposed in
Control Center. I wonder if it'd make a sense to patch the sharing
module in the control center to check if the session is running on
Wayland and if so, to disable the dialog.
My understanding is that screen sharing is moving to the compositor or
Pinos [2] and vino will be deprecated, but in the meantime we shouldn't
expose its functionality on Wayland.
Yes, please do something like this. If we'd found it earlier I would
actually nominateĀ it as a blocker as violation of 'All applications
that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a
release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop
must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test.', but
I don't think I'm going to rock the boat and do it now. Having it as a
0-day update would be very good, though.
