I've not gotten it working yet. We've moved to Ubuntu with Budgie, which has worked great.

Ubuntu with Budgie
So, no more Fedora 28?
Not for jump boxes, no. That's the only thing we connect to with a GUI.

@scottalanmiller Ubuntu w Budgie is solely for jump boxes? Screen Connect is installed on the jump box?

Oh, sorry, forgot that we want this on end user desktops, we just don't have that working at the moment. Total bran fart there.

It works as long as you have the user log in, or is already logged in when you want to do support.
The only issue is the "lock screen" being blacked out.

In Fedora 28, it works?
I still get the black screen even when the user is logged in. This happens using unattended access. -

Fedora + Cinnamon

I also remote into my laptop, my co-workers laptop, with ScreenConnect no issues.
Oh and a demo laptop I have from HP right now. All systems running Fedora 28 + Ciinnamon. -
What do you have here on your desktop?
-
-
It seems the issue is in Cinnamon vs Gnome.
