I am also seeing similar behavior intermittently after rebooting the system. Sometimes it works, sometimes it gives a black screen that lasts for about 30 seconds and then the connection gets terminated. Subsequent connects works though.

I am seeing this both on x86 laptop and arm64 SBCs

Please find the log attached that I have captured using `journalctl /usr/libexec/gnome-remote-desktop-daemon`. The log file has two subsequent login attempts where first failed, second succeeded. First log is having timestamp from 17:55:08 to 17:55:39. The rest of the log is for second attempt
