Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:46~alpha-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: afer...@debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
On a system without gnome-remote-desktop, trying to access the "System" panel
(containing the "Users", "Date & Time" panels among other important things)
results in a crash with the following message:
GLib-GIO[25147]: ERROR: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.remote-
desktop.rdp' is not installed
I believe either g-c-c should handle the lack of gnome-remote-desktop more
gracefully, or the latter should be promoted to Depends instead of Recommends.
Best regards,
Arnaud

Ok, I'll promote gnome-remote-desktop to Depends again.

Josh, I remember you complained about this dependency in
https://bugs.debian.org/1014879
GNOME Remote Desktop is going to be more tightly entwined in GNOME 46
to support the new integrated "headless" mode allowing remote access
even when the user is not already logged into the host computer. It
doesn't feel feasible to me to make this dependency optional because
of the integration in gnome-session, gdm3, gnome-settings-daemon, and
as a separate page in gnome-control-center.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

GNOME Remote Desktop is still available but not enabled by default as
of GNOME 45 in Debian Unstable or Testing.
This can also be verified by running
systemctl --user status gnome-remote-desktop.service
I need to get freerdp3 packaged before I can test the headless mode
for GNOME 46. I'm going to work on that this month because this is
such a major feature that early testing could be helpful.
Thank you,
