I’m not sure what packages are relevant to this, but here is what I figured:

$ dnf list installed | grep gnome-user-share

I’m not sure how to get logs for gnome settings. If someone shows me I’ll definitely post the logs here.

From a command line, what output do you see if you run gnome-control-center sharing?

The Sharing page in gnome settings opened and I can navigate the pages as normal.

The file-sharing switch is still greyed out, and unfortunately, no errors or warnings are printed to the command-line.
