Bug Description

I set up screen sharing on one computer, then via LAN I have connected via multiple clients (android using official MS remote desktop client, windows using official MS remote desktop client, and another ubuntu 22.04 machine using remmina 1.4.25)

On all clients the connection is a blank screen, however, mouse click and scroll events are successfully forwarded to the server machine...

the gnome-remote-deskop service does log to systemd journal that a connection has succeeded and I see the yellow indicator icon in the top right

42.1.1-0ubuntu1 of gnome-remote-desktop

Thank you for your bug report. Could you get a 'journalctl -b 0 > journal.log' log after triggering the issue and add the journal.log to the report?
