Doesn't work on an 8GB Pi. This is a known bug by Ubuntu. It may well work on a 2GB or 4GB system.

The best tutorial I've seen of this topic, thank you so much!

This also works on Mac OS with Ubuntu 22.04. This works straight away (after losing many hours trying everything.) Thank you so much! (In the VNC client I did have to turn encryption off!)

Thanks a lot for sharing !!!. Screen locking was terminating Remmina sessions to my remote ubuntu servers ( 22.04 and 21.10 as well) for weeks, I am happy that I found your solutions and this stupid problem is finally resolved !!
This solution works for both VNC and RDP (Please note that Ubuntu 22.04 accepts RDP connections a well so in Remmina one can choose RDP protocol)

Thank you! I have tried to setup remote access to Ubuntu a few times in different ways and it never worked, don't know if Jammy Jellyfish made it easier or what but this video got me pointed in the right direction and it's now working.

Jolly good video 👍
Gnome extension for *lock-able remote session* is an awesome tip --- THANKS!
Kindest regards.

The best tutorial. On point. Thank you

[rajeshp]

Thanks mate, you really made my day. Hats off

[yacineboukari]

Omg thanks you so much for this! It works perfectly!

[jawaulk]

Thanks exactly what I was looking for.

[mehdimj_ir]

OMG. That's the fastest video I have watched to get what I want. Thanks man :)

I liked the video, commented it and subscribed. without you telling me to.

LOL :))

[angrmonk]

You save me man! Thank you! It works on Ubuntu 22 lts.

Nice, but wish it could work for connecting after reboot... Can't believe there is no simple option to set up a fully remote workstation without disabling encryption

[Mukunth]

Working flawlessly on 8GB RAM Pi 5 :)

[alidarzi]

Thanks, the solution worked for the lock screen.
But what should we do for the log in step! After every power outage or every reset, connection will be lost and cannot be recovered due to log in problem. SSH is working but RDP does not!

[lepetitbaigneur]

man and it was so easy :::) why didnt i watched your video earlier, before 2hrs wasted

Wich client do you use ? I try with Real VNC but I have a black sreen

Anyone having an issue where you get in with the RDP, I can even get my mouse to move on screen, but it doesn't let me click on anything? I was literally watching the target computer in the other room as I was doing it, there was zero response. Couldn't even see the mouse moving (not sure if that's a thing). Like I said, I was in, I could see the desktop, but I couldn't do anything but move the mouse.

[Supaslicer]

I have noticed if my Ubuntu restarts, I have to go into settings on the machine and put in a password to unlock the remote desktop setting again...

When I reunlock the setting..it also changes my password

Is there a way around this?... So upon reboot..it will just let me remote in again (I'm guessing gnome may be the answer?)

[JohnHCarter]

Will this allow me to connect to my ubuntu server and see all the programs i left open? even if the server is still logged in?
