Enable Unattended RustDesk Access on Wayland

Ubuntu uses GNOME on Wayland by default. RustDesk works well once the desktop session is running, but unattended access can become awkward around the graphical login screen.

On my Ubuntu 26.04 system, the practical solution was to use an X11-based LightDM login screen while keeping the normal Ubuntu GNOME Wayland desktop after login:

LightDM + Slick Greeter + X11

Ubuntu + GNOME + Wayland

This gives RustDesk access to the login screen without replacing the everyday Ubuntu desktop.

Gnome 42 has a fantastic new feature that allows Linux users to share their desktops with Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol remotely, namely GNOME remote desktop. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can use this great new feature.

Without this feature, an alternative solution is xrdp. However, xrdp cannot provide a consistent desktop environment as used in current Linux.

For the remote desktop to work on GNOME, we have to enable automatic login and disable automatic screen lock. Otherwise, it is unable to connect to the Linux PC remotely from Windows 10/11 using the Remote Desktop Connection app.
