Disable the built-in remote desktop feature and install some other RDP/VNC server and manually configure it, but would that conflict with. Is it possible to convert the gnome-remote-desktop user service to a system service? And if so, where would it store the password if not in the user keyring? Is this even an option at all? It seems like there are many ways to get around these issue, but I'm not sure what's the best route or even if any/all of these are possible:Ĭontinue using auto-login so that remote desktop can run as a user service but somehow fix it so that it keeps the same password (ideally without disabling keyring completely).ĭisable the built-in remote desktop feature and install some other RDP/VNC server and manually configure it, but would that conflict with the built-in one? Not sure. And it starts before the keyring is unlocked, so it creates a new password every time it starts. It looks like gnome-remote-desktop runs as a user service, not a system service, so it's not active unless the user logs in.
I am hoping to have remote desktop available on boot, without logging in, or if it uses auto-login it keeps the password, so that I can run the system headless and RDP/VNC into it.
It has some quirks related to the password, which I found out about on this post:Ģ2.04 - Remote Desktop Sharing authentication password changes every reboot
I just installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and was delighted to see that a remote desktop server is built in and supports MS RDP in addition to VNC.
