Yeah, this issue here is a duplicate of the bug mentioned in comment 6. Jeremy submitted a patch, which sufficiently fixed the issue in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1286 (it should technically check for other aspects too), but for now it is sufficient. Follow-ups should use an upstream report or MR for this.
Just to note: What people confuses here is the state of what the switch represents and therefore leads to the wrong conclusions above. Just because g-r-d is running, does not mean it listens on some ports for connections, nor that it starts any of the server backends (RDP or VNC). Before Jeremys change, the state in g-c-c represented, whether the g-r-d service is enabled and running. However, the backends have their own 'enabled' settings (default: false ('off')). Also, the RDP backend won't be started by g-r-d, when the server cert and private keyfile are missing. These are generated, when the switch in g-c-c is switched to 'on'. The reason, why this issue was not apparent initially was that due a recent systemd change, g-r-d did not start automatically, when the service was enabled. This was fixed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/commit/7f4ef31fd380dffc108e5c7f77c81fbaa271ec7b, but lead to this issue here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-remote-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970039 Title: cannot disable Remote Desktop in Ubuntu 22.04 Status in gnome-remote-desktop package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1.
