      Unlike older versions of Ubuntu, when you want to do remote access via tools like MeshCentral you need more configuration changes.

      In older versions of Ubuntu you needed to move from Wayland to X.org by editing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf by uncommenting this line:

      WaylandEnable=false
      

      But now you need a second line added as well. Do this and reboot and... we still run into issues. I'm working on figuring more out, but if you do these two steps AND add automatic login, you should be good.

      WaylandEnable=false
      DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop
      

      Same file, this isn't good, but it's the fix while we search for how to get the login screen working...

      AutomaticLoginEnable = true
      AutomaticLogin = adefaultuser
      

      Far from ideal. But so far this is what is working. Shouldn't be a hard fix, just have to track it down.

        Side question: When does 23.04 get moved into LTS mode?
