Ubuntu Version:
24.04.4 LTS
Desktop Environment (if applicable):
GNOME
Problem Description : Reboot changes Desktop Sharing Login Details Password
I am trying to create a remote session to a machine running Ubuntu 24.04.4 to another with the OS. Both are desktop GNOME installs. The remote machine has ‘Desktop Sharing’ enabled and the ‘Login Details’ contains a Password field that changes the password every time the system reboots. The client side is trying to connect with Remmina and generates users labeled as GDM with each attempt. Any help debugging this setting to allow Remote Login and Desktop sharing using Remmina would be appreciated. Thanks.
