This bug affected me as well on Ubuntu 25.10. In my case, the problem started after an Xorg-related configuration change was accidentally applied on the host system instead of a virtual machine.
The change was made in: /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and was intended to force Xorg, for example with: [daemon] WaylandEnable=false After that change, remote desktop became unstable or unusable. RDP connections failed, and during connection attempts gnome-remote-desktop- daemon also crashed. In my case, I fixed the problem by reverting that Xorg-related change on the host system and letting Ubuntu run normally on Wayland again. So in my case, the issue was not caused by the remote client itself, but by an incorrect Xorg-related host configuration on a Wayland-based Ubuntu 25.10 setup. I think this is important because, on a Wayland-only Ubuntu setup, an unsupported Xorg-related configuration should be ignored rather than causing remote desktop failures or crashes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2141992 Title: GNOME Remote Desktop: Headless system-level RDP fails NLA handshake with Windows mstsc — black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-remote-desktop/+bug/2141992/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
