Set a password (8 char wtf)
reboot
Open Remmina on another computer
Set up the connection vnc over ssh
double click the connection
Remmina VNC shows the gdm login screen and allows me to choose a user
Enter that users desktop do some work
Choose Switch User
Switch to the other user and use that desktop
logoff the users
show the gdm screen
== What really happens ==
From step double click the connection
Remmina show a black screen, no gdm
ss -lnt shows no services listening on port 5900
physically login behind the machine that is going to be placed remotely
restart remmina
am able to log in to the logged in desktop
switch users
vino sends a black screen from gdm
log in physically to the 'remote' machine
vino still sends a black screen
reboot the computer
more black screen
in 16.04 I used X11vnc together with a systemctrl x11vnc.service file which worked fine. This is also broken in 18.04.
Tried a vino.service file from one of the forums didn't work vino fails with
