# The issue with Ubuntu 22.04 is that it now uses a display feature called wayland by default, 
# while in versions prior to 21.04 Ubuntu defaulted to using xorg as its display server. Wayland does not support screen sharing by default (until now, at least!).


# To check which display system your Ubuntu is using, please enter this command

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

# If the above command outputs wayland, your system is using wayland.

# In order to use screen sharing, we have to disable wayland and enable xorg (x11). To do this,
# Please go to this file

$ sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Uncomment this line:
WaylandEnable=false

# Reboot your system.

# Voila! You can share your screen. 
# You can confirm this by re-entering this command.

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

#Now it should display x11.
