I installed 2 instances of Zorin in a Proxmox Enviroment for remote desktop access.
The one installation at the beginning of time worked perfectly fine with remote desktop and was enabled. A user attempted to login at a later date, upon investigation it was nolonger enabled.
I attempted to re-enable this but it refuses. The toggle will turn on but then it will turn off and grey out.
No explanation is provided.
Zorin OS defaults to Wayland, now, but Wayland can cause issues with Proxmox and with Remote desktops.
Have you tried switching to X11 (Xorg)?
is X11 (Xorg) part of Zorin or just have to be enabled? I'm confused by your reply
No direction was provided
Following up to my previous statement. Why would the issue only involve 1 VM and not the other? Both are in Proxmox, Both are same configuration. Both Updated. I would rather use the built in feature rather then downloading or enabling something else. I'd like to find why RDP doesn't work on the affected machine. When something disables upon enable I would normally expect a backfire message explaining the fault. It's either missing or failing to show.
Does this screenshot help?
You can select whether to log in on Xorg or on Wayland at the GDM login screen, by clicking the gear icon.
If one session is on Xorg and the other is on Wayland - that can explain what you are seeing.
If that is not the case, you might try (on the affected machine)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-remote-desktop
systemctl --user restart gnome-remote-desktop.service
Did this and it still resulted in the same. Found another forum to go back to a previous kernal. Also which..... Made no difference.
Also "Xorg or on Wayland at the GDM login screen" option is not shown at login screen
So, do both Systems run now in Xorg, yes?
On the affected machine, can you relay the output of:
journalctl --user -u gnome-remote-desktop.service --no-pager -n 30
This shows that the session initializes, but is failing the RDP backend.
Can you try:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-remote-desktop
systemctl --user restart gnome-remote-desktop
If that fails, then I would only suggest creating a new RDP user profile on the affected machine.
Appears to have made no difference. Still will not enable. I cannot enter a username or password in the field (If that is what you are reffering to by creating a RDP Profile)
Maybe the keyring got corrected? Can you test:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-remote-desktop
rm -rf ~/.cache/gnome-remote-desktop
gnome-keyring-daemon --unlock
systemctl --user restart gnome-remote-desktop
"gnome-keyring-daemon --unlock" in the terminal results in the following image which has occured since the last reply.
Are you saying there is no cog wheel showing bottom right when you select your username at login?
Did You clicked on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears? Because it wouldn't appear before that. It should look like this:
