This video goes over how to screen share in Ubuntu. The typical issues people run into is after enabling screen share in settings they are unable to use a vnc viewer to remotely access the computer because of encryption.

Do it for you script:

Script content:

sudo apt install gconf2 -y
sudo ufw allow from any to any port 5900 proto tcp
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
gsettings set org.gnome.Vino prompt-enabled false
gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false
