I can confirm this also in Ubuntu 21.04 (arm64) for Raspberry Pi 4. 1- Enable Screen sharing 2- Require password (fill the password) 3- Select network 4- Close the window
On my laptop, open remmina and create a new VNC connection to the raspberry pi. Click Save & Connect and it is successfully connecting. Then click restart on raspberry pi Once restart complete and desktop is shown, I open remmina again and click connect to the VNC connection I previously created. Unfortunately remmina complains that "Authentication failed". Then I check Ubuntu on raspberry pi and see that it has the share screen enabled, with Require Password, but the field is empty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-remote-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928536 Title: VNC Password cleared on reboot Status in gnome-remote-desktop package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Password is set using the Screen Sharing settings... Screen sharing works till next machine reboot. After reboot the password entry is cleared in the settings and cannot connect anymore. The following line appears in syslog: May 15 09:53:37 alpha gnome-remote-de[1512]: Couldn't retrieve VNC password: Password not set Setting the password again in settings solves the problem... but this isn't very helpful on a machine which is meant to run headless.
