Hello,
I'm trying to share the screen from my Laptop, running Arch Linux with GNOME, to my desktop PC, running Arch Linux with MATE. I enabled screen sharing via the Settings, but when I try to connect to the VNC Server using a VNC client on my Computer(I tried tigervnc and Remmina) I only see a black screen and a mouse cursor.
Mouse and keyboard input work. When searching through the internet I found multiple cases where this happened when trying to connect to a virtual session, however I want to share the running session.
My system is up to date, here are the versions for mutter, gnome-shell on the laptop and tigervnc, remmina and libvncserver on the desktop PC:
# On the Laptop
pacman -Q mutter gnome-shell
mutter 3.36.2-1
gnome-shell 1:3.36.2+7+ge4199c71c-1
# On the Desktop
pacman -Q tigervnc remmina libvncserver
tigervnc 1.10.1-2
remmina 1:1.4.3-1
libvncserver 0.9.12-2
If you need the version of any other gnome packages I'll be happy to provide these.
I'd appreciate any input that might help me solve this problem.

I did some testing and when using a VNC client to connect from the laptop to localhost it works. I have also tried with the newest versions:
# On the Laptop
$ pacman -Q mutter gnome-shell
mutter 3.36.3-1
gnome-shell 1:3.36.3-1
Under X11 I got VNC to work by using tigervnc, but under Wayland that's not working. So I don't think it's likely that it's an issue regarding the network connection between the two computers.
Did I miss some toggle to allow connections from outside in the settings?
Thank you for your help,
Luca
