Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to set up VNC server for my Gnome Wayland desktop and it seems like
gnome-remote-desktop sources has VNC backend (using libvncserver) but it has to
be enabled during the build.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/issues/144

As it is now only RDP is supported in the package. Fedora and Ubuntu seems to
have VNC backend enabled, if there is nothing preventing it from being enabled
in Debian, that would be extremely useful for me.

Best Regards,
Anton

I also need VNC.

I'm trying to deploy wayland machines, but client-side tools need to be agnostic to the generation of the target.

I can't support each generation of deployments with a different set of protocols.  It's way too much client-side tooling, and process/manual rewriting.

In my case I'm trying to offer VNC support for Gnome desktops using Wayland
from a web user interface that uses NoVNC. I cannot find a web RDP client
so dropping VNC support affects me. Fedora and OpenSUSE keeps the VNC
support for the grdctl command. I understand the point of view of the
maintainer but I'd like to post this user case. Thanks

As I can't get g-r-d working with RDP facing the bug 1040395, I wanted
to use VNC and face this bug!

Which solution do we have under Debian 13/Wayland?

VNC is disabled upstream in gnome-remote-desktop because RDP provides
better performance and privacy. We aren't going to change that in
Debian.

Ubuntu does not have VNC enabled either; it uses the same packaging as Debian.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
