Desktop Sharing not staying on in Ubuntu 18.04












0















I've been trying to get remote desktop working with my installation of Ubuntu 18.04, but the toggle doesn't seem to stay on. I go to settings, then Sharing and switch the toggle to on, then I select Desktop Sharing and try to turn the second toggle on, but it keeps springing back to off.



My machine was recently upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04, and now to 18.04 as the OS recommended that I upgrade.
