On a brand new installed Ubuntu 24:
REPRODUCE:
First, go to the Settings app, then in the app select the System menu item, the select Secure Shell and then enable Secure Shell and enter the password and close the window.
EXPECTED RESULT
I can connect from another computer with ssh and log in with my credentials.
ACTUAL RESULT
When trying to connect from another computer with ssh, it rejects the connection.
NOTES
After I installed `openssh-server`, it did work.

After checking Secure Shell in the Settings app, install `openssh-server` if it's not already installed.
