Later that night... I went back to the computer and it still had not booted. I had to force shut it down. Once it had booted, I tried connecting and ... https://i.imgur.com/4norRln.png Got the same error "An internal error has occurred" on the ms client side server side gnome-remote-de[822]: [RDP] Username is not set, denying client This computer is a fresh install of 22.04.2 ubuntu basic automatic filesystem setup on UEFI system dark mode enabled automatic login disable auto lock system updated and upgraded these packages installed qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools libqt5serialport5-dev qtcreator build-essential git Next I will try to do, just a reboot. See if it reboots without issue normally. Ah it always hangs during restarts now. Might be due to the earlier install, or maybe gnome-remote-desktop settings, can't tell. So I"m going to re-install a fresh copy of ubuntu 22.04.2 and test without updating first ---------- ok Ubuntu re-installed Ok done Fressh 22.04.2, no updates, just installed openssh-server, enabled sharing-> remote desktop set the username and password (to cnc in my case) https://i.imgur.com/4iV9zyv.png ANd still right away the error gnome-remote-de[854]: [RDP] Username is not set, denying client I tried manually setting the credentials with sudo grdctl set-credentials cnc cnc but it replies with usage information (though not exactly an error ?!) Usage: grdctl [OPTIONS...] COMMAND [SUBCOMMAND]... went back to the rdp server computer, went into sharing -> remote desktop -> typed in the password again and enter And now finally, the MS RDP client asks "Enter your credentials" https://i.imgur.com/sscS2cd.png It says "identify of the remote computer cannot be verified" connect anyway ? - YES ANd it works and it's connected https://i.imgur.com/1BsAncH.png Now I just reboot https://i.imgur.com/tLA3MMS.png system reboots quickly, it's back to the desktop, I try to connect https://i.imgur.com/AbVqrVW.png And the error's back I didn't click "remember me" I didn't click "don't ask again" about the certificate It says in /var/log/syslog gnome-remote-de[856]: [RDP] Username is not set, denying client It will not connect no matter what .... I try grdctl again this time I think I have the right command line sudo grdctl rdp set-credentials cnc cnc but uh oh Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY I guess I need to set the DISPLAY variable cnc@cnc:~$ sudo grdctl rdp set-credentials cnc cnc Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY cnc@cnc:~$ export DISPLAY=:0 cnc@cnc:~$ sudo grdctl rdp set-credentials cnc cnc Failed to execute child process ?dbus-launch? (No such file or directory) Ok, I'll go type this in the console of the desktop of the server Well same error https://i.imgur.com/UAWYArw.jpg I think there well and truly is a bug there !? The rdp server is losing it's login and password on every reboot and you can set them automatically with a command line automation set the password in sharing -> remote desktop again and it just works immediately https://i.imgur.com/TbdKnS4.png didn't even need to press enter I disconnect remote desktop client again https://i.imgur.com/OhTiCCN.png enter your credentials https://i.imgur.com/5AXdQL2.png identity cannot be verified https://i.imgur.com/rps8eMs.png and connected again https://i.imgur.com/S9xrcIV.png reboot This time I only set the username in sharing -> remote desktop, not the password And it asks to enter credentials on the client and I get a new error this time ! https://i.imgur.com/MDmBtyE.png went back, set the password, now it works https://i.imgur.com/6BjeS3y.png Ok, well I think I fully documented every aspects of this bug that definitely exists in 22.04.2
