MeshCentral Remote Desktop Settings for Ubuntu 23.10 Mantic Minotaur

[scottalanmiller]

Wayland remains a problem for remote access systems. Xorg is still required at this time, but the settings can be elusive. I have Mantic Minotaur working now and have the settings that are working for my systems. These did not work at first release but with subsequent patches, they are working now. So be aware that you need to be fully up to date.

The file that needs to be modified is /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

In past versions we've had to do many more steps. But you'll need to ensure that your system is fully up to date. Early Mantic Minotaur 23.10 releases didn't work until they were patched.
