desktop sharing changes doesn't allow for individual screens #198

Closed rbeldin closed 5 years ago

rbeldin commented 5 years ago

I am running pidgin with sipe-collab ppa on Ubuntu 18.04. Something changed recently as I was able previously share individual screens instead of just the whole desktop. My best guess is that this was working before Christmas and has changed after some updates. My laptop supports up to 2 external monitors and I run with the lid open. Sharing individual screens was necessary in order to present a small enough desktop to people with a smaller desktop, otherwise they got a tiny representation of my large desktop.

Current versions:

Are these correct? Am I missing something?

I tried the latest 18.04 PPA packages. With two monitors connected I get the usual popup dialog that allows me to select which display to share, same as I can see the correct display in Remmina on the other side of the connection. My installation below looks identical to your.

My only quick idea, check that you're not in a Wayland session. SIPE doesn't support desktop sharing from Wayland.

Ah, now I see it. Apparently I didn't see it before because the receiver had a bad connection and there were delays. I finally got an error before getting this popup.

We're closed. Thanks for the help.

Hmmm. I have a much bigger list of packages.

@rbeldin As far as SIPE is concerned, you can remove all 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-15ubuntu1 FreeRDP packages (applies to libwinpr as well). They were left behind after some earlier upgrade and are most likely just wasting your disk space. Both pidgin-sipe and remmina now use FreeRDP 2.0.
