– sometimes a warning about user “gdm” appears when requesting to power down the server … – when logged in on the server and connected with the client I can only run firefox on either the server or the client but not on both as the second activation of firefox complains about firefox already running … – when I log into the server and open windows applications these are not showing on the client when I connect and vice versa new windows opened on the client do not show on the server however using “who” at the command line shows only one user logged in (in fact this is the user on the server: when I log out on the server the session on the client reports no users on “who”) When I’m not logged in on the server and I connect with the client I additionally have to authenticate to unlock the key-ring.

when logged in on the server and connecting with the client I need to authenticate to “refresh system repositories”. You will still need to be logged in locally first.I’ve run into this strange situation where desktop sharing between a Centos7 client and Redhat (Almalinux) 8.3 server was working but then isn’t any longer (the other way around CentOS7 server RH/AL 8.3 client works OK). Now you will be able to remotely connect to this computer even when the screen is locked. Within this app, search for and install the Allow locked Remote Desktop GNOME Shell extension. The open the newly installed app called Extension in the GUI. You will need a GNOME Shell extension to solve this problem.įirst, install install gnome-shell-extension-manager with this command: sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager If you want to remotely connect to your computer when you are (or someone else is) not locally logged in, use XRDP, see Ubuntu 22.04 remote deskop headless? GNOME Shell Extension: Allow locked Remote Desktop This solution is for the new GNOME Remote Desktop in Ubuntu 22.04 that allows RDP (and legacy VNC) protocol for remote desktop sharing. On the other hand, XRDP does not allow remote connection if you are logged in locally.

GNOME Remote Desktop does not allow a remote connection if you are not logged in locally in the remote computer.
