Login to local session via remote desktop
(Ubuntu 22.10)
I was unable to find any useful answers online, I’ve seen people doing it with VNC, but i couldn’t get that working.
I’m aware of the gnome remote desktop, but by the look of it, I cannot even connect if the machine has a local session running.
I found GRD to be annoying since the keyboard layout never matched correctly no matter what I did on the host or client machine
(Edit)
If it’s not really possible, is it possible to have Xorg user automatically signed in on boot, then connect to that ?
Yes, but you might have to pay for that. You need to also setup a few other things as well.
- Setup auto loging via GDM.
- Install TeamViewer
- Goto Extras -> Options and check the box next to "Start TeamViewer with system"
- Give your system a unique ID and setup for remote loging via setting a password (on teamviewer).
- Now you can always connect to your desktop remotely.
Disclaimer: You most probably will need to pay for two licenses. It is free for personal use though.
