remote desktop and wayland
by vikingGoalie from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54MSP)
So I very much would like to be able to remote to a fedora 31 (soon to be 32) workstation.
I've always been able to do this until one of the fedora upgrades I did a ways back wayland rolled out. I didn't even know I was broken until I went to do this and it didn't work.
Basically it's the black screen, I tried doing this via tigervnc server and using a vnc client, I've tried just enabling the remote desktop in the settings on my fedora workstation, just about every combo I could think of. several vnc clients, mac's remote desktop tool, etc.
What I do know is that if I am completely logged off my workstation like if it's fresh boot I have been successful in logging in and getting in. The issue is if any user is logged into the workstation and any other user tries to log into it your credentials are accepted but after that you get a black screen and are unable to do anything.
This always worked prior to wayland. My situation is a bit abnormal as I have 3 workstations, 1 windows, 1 fedora, and 1 MacOS (High Sierra). I can interchange what I'm doing on one based on the platform I'm developing on at the time. It's real handy to be able to remote from one to the other for various things. Everyone plays nice in this eco-system except for fedora (wayland). Since the fedora workstation is currently my primary it's not a huge deal. But I'm fixing to change that and would very much like to fix this issue.
I really do not want to go Ubuntu where this just seems to work as my product is Redhat based, and I do not want to backwards to CentOS 7 (pre wayland on 8) as I like having the newer packages. What would the collective suggest?
thx
