Here is an ugly 3 steps workaround:
-1) Edit the org.gnome.Vino schema to restore the missing "enabled"
parameter (copying from 16.04)
sudo nano /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Vino.gschema.xml
Add this key:
<key name='enabled' type='b'>
<summary>Enable remote access to the desktop</summary>
<description>
If true, allows remote access to the desktop via the RFB
protocol. Users on remote machines may then connect to the
desktop using a VNC viewer.
</description>
<default>false</default>
</key>
-2) Compile the schemas for Gnome:
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
-3) Now the screen sharing panel in unity-control-center works... but this is
not enough to get vino running! So you need to add in the programs at session
start: Vino-server with the following command line:
/usr/lib/vino/vino-server
Now you can VNC your 18.04-Unity!

Title:
[FFE] screen sharing panels abort using an unexistant vino gsettings
key
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in vino package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
[FFE]
This happens because Gnome removed that particular gsettings key. The
removal did not happen with the ui removal but rather much later than
that. That is why it doesn't work with the latest version of vino.
As of now If users try to open the new sharing panel, unity-control-
center will crash. This sort behavior is not desired on LTS release
(18.04).
