1 Intel i3-8100/32GB pc ("FujitsuServer" with ip 192.168.88.10) and 1 Intel i5-8350/8GB laptop ("Laptop-A" with ip 192.168.88.22) both with fresh Ubuntu Budgie 19.10 installs.

I have enabled Desktop sharing and Media sharing on the PC. I have installed a Brother printer successfully via USB, works fine. I can access localhost:631 and see CUPS, printer sharing is enabled.

I can PING both computers from each other.

PROBLEM:

  • Laptop, when using Remmina, I cannot access the pc via vnc, "FujitsuServer.local" does nothing, no connection can be made.
  • Lapto, file manager > Network I can see "FUJITSUSERVER" but I get a "Connection refused" error.
  • I can find the shared printer on the laptop, but I cannot print anything to it.
  • The cups webUI of the PC is also not accessible via the laptop (going to 192.168.88.10:631 leads to a timeout).

I even tried connecting both directly with each other via a networkcable, assigning IP addresses manually. PING works. But just like with a router between them, nothing else.

How is sharing suppose to work?

If you need to screen share within your LAN inside your network between Linux devices, use NoMachine. It is way faster than any other service and user friendly options to change host resolution and change screen size to make it usable on your client screen.

However if you need support online like TeamViewer, use AnyDesk.

I now use my PC or NAS by simply using NoMachine on my laptop. Giving me access to a full pc while on the couch.
