I don't see any option for sharing the screen as we see in this .  Also, the sharing button automatically switches off if I navigate away from this screen. If I try to share the entire screen from the browser(during discussions), a black page is shared.  vino is already the newest version (3.22.0-3ubuntu1). I've tried many available solutions related to this issue. I don't know what's wrong. Kindly help. The ubuntu version I'm using is 18.04

After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 I noticed some of my screencasting applications are not working, for example screencasting tools like SimpleScreenRecorder and vokoscreen. ()  Also I noticed features like screenshot from GIMP is not working properly, producing blank screenshots (). Shutter too is producing glitchy screenshots ().  Screen-sharing option on Skype is also not working ().  The issue occurs sometimes on later Ubuntu releases too.  Why is this happening and how do I fix this?

I am looking for a solution/technology which allows remote screencast display and control from desktop. My goal is to provided remote mobile device display through a browser. I found some existing solutions:   AndroidScreenCast: Based on ADB interface. this is just screenshots using a simple primitive provided by ADB. low display. VNC client &amp; server. works for both rooted android and jailbroken iphone. low display. iDemo + ScreenSplitR: Better, jailbroken iphone only. HDMI/TV output: No remote control.   I've heard about "direct-to-device" technology which is used by DeviceAnyWhere. Are there any other solutions?

After installing the latest Ubuntu I find that the icons in the applications folder (viz. /usr/share/applications), when opened in the Files application (Nautilus), come up as a blank page with a gear in the middle. If I try to open them I get a read only text box.

Sorry for being so simple but i'm finding it really difficult to work out how to split screens and then rejoin them.   so i grab the corner of a screen and drag it creates a new screen then i grab the corner again and sometimes it creates a new one and sometimes it merges them.   I'm a bit confused about the controls.  I looked on the 2.8 manual and I think its a bit out of date as it looks the same as 2.79.  Any help is greatly appreciated

The only reason I ever boot into Windows (7) is to use the popular video chat software ooVoo (). It's useless under Wine and there seems to be no way to run it in Ubuntu except for some proprietary tools. Does anyone have any information on some alternatives to running it with Wine?

For those who duplicated my previous question - ; am NOT asking how to install Skype for God's sake!!   The question was rather - I already have Skype installed, the thing is there is no possible option for me to do group video call or group screen share. The interface itself resembles the times when Skype was newly born. While on Windows, Skype's latest version is around 6.(something), here it's only 4.3. In Windows group video call is now free on Skype, here I can't even do video call! I think this is a major drawback for an otherwise so good OS! Is there anything that can be done about it?  Thanks for any help!  For those who don't have an answer for me, I still thank you for at least understanding my question!!  Have a good day!

Ok, I was kind of surprised that this hadn't been asked here before, but maybe it's too technical for this site. You guys decide.  I've heard lots of different stories about setting up Wine on Ubuntu, WineTricks, PlayOnLinux etc., but never a 'This is the best way to do it for Steam and Steam games' thread.  So has anyone had any real success getting their Steam games to run on Ubuntu through Wine or something similar? If so, could we get some specific steps?

I'm trying to figure out if the screen sharing data is encrypted when I connect to my Mac at home from another Mac at work. I've seen a lot of questions and answers but I can't really find a definitive answer. Basically, I just have my Mac sitting at home with Screen Sharing turned on and I'm port-forwarding 5900. It works but again, I'd like it to be secure.   Now, before anyone mentions SSH tunneling, I had it set up the first day I tried this (Remote Login, port-forwarded 22, tunnel created, etc) but then it stopped working. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on there but if Screen Sharing is completely encrypted, then I'm not going to worry about the tunnel anymore.

I've been struggling for a while on this, strange set of circumstances.  I have a Amazon FireTV box that I cannot connect as university wireless does not support it.  I'm looking for a way to set up Internet from my MacBook pro (the uni WiFi won't allow Internet sharing however - and no Ethernet in my room!).  The only way i've found is to share my iPhone's 4G but I don't want to do that because of data usage.  Any way I can fix this?   I have an iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro, HDMI cables, USB cables but not WiFi that I'm allowed to share!   Anything I can buy to make this work?

Is there a way to stream the same playlist on multiple computers at the same time? I want to be able to sync what's playing on multiple computers (for parties etc).

I have read about this on , the articles were a few months old though.  Is there an official guide from Ubuntu on how to do this?

I know that every operating system worth using supports multiple independent users; this makes it easy for several people to share a single computer, with their own documents and everything. However, there is one small problem: the sharing can't occur simultaneously.  Remote Desktop or other similar software allows people to connect to a computer from somewhere else and log-in as any user, without disturbing other users. However I wonder, isn't is possible for multiple people with different user accounts to use a computer at the same time, locally, via multiple monitors and input devices? I tried plugging in a second keyboard, mouse and monitor, however, Windows will mirror or extend the display to the second monitor and the second set of input devices become pretty much like... well... I can't think of anything useless enough to compare them to.  How would I share a single computer with different people? Assume I have a keyboard, mouse and monitor for everyone, connected to multiple video cards (either multiple outputs on a single video card or one monitor/card).

When a link is shared in chat and it ends up in a specific position on the screen it is impossible to click it (without fiddling with the DOM).  As you can see in the printscreen above a link is in a post at the end of the line. However when I try to click the link the post options overlays the link (once I hover over the post):   Link to transcript:  Resolution: 1366 x 768 (laptop) Browser: Chrome v3300 (by the time you read this it will be at that version)

My brother just got me a new computer but he is always on so I can't play his steam shared games. Is there a way to play his games while he is playing a game too?

The reputation graph has been broken for years:    Dragging over the area below will not do anything. Clicking/hovering the bars will also not trigger a popup.  It used to work but since several years ago it stopped working for me. From the comments  I have realized it is working for other users but not me. Therefore I have taken a look at it and I found out that since the page probably thinks I am on a mobile device (I have a touchscreen on Windows 8.1) it is only listening for touch events. (Based on my experience, the code/underlying library must has been written before touchscreen PC's became popular.)  I tested it and indeed, the touch events work. This also explains why it stopped working years ago because I have switched to a laptop with touchscreen.  Another user seems to have a  but they couldn't figure out why. I am not able to confirm that the problem he was experiencing is also related to touchscreens.  Chrome 51, Windows 8.1.

How can I view a list of devices that are connected to my Apple laptop via Internet Sharing (when it's enabled)? If a list doesn't exist, does Internet Sharing log DHCP requests and if so, where? Thanks.

After connecting from my home via remote desktop, both my screens are black when I arrive at work. The only thing I can see is a mouse pointer on one of the screens. I then seem to have only two choices: rebooting or working from a remote desktop connection, which works fine.  It did happen every time I tried last week.  However, I did the same from my laptop in a meeting room today, and I didn't have any problem.
