Ubuntu 18.04 offered a minimalist install. This gets rid of a lot of software that I don't normally use, I really like this new feature. See below for this option during install. What you pay with this option though (at least in 18.04) is that screen sharing is not working. This is how it looks like trying to configure it.  Anyway, to get it work install vino , like: sudo apt install vino After installing vino, it should look like below. Observe that Screen Sharing option shows up just below computer name. Additionally, to connect to it from Windows using RealVNC client, you need to disable vino encryption, like: gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false
