While the fix here is correct, the assumptions in this issue are wrong. I wrote an explanation of this issue in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-remote- desktop/+bug/1970039/comments/7.

It looks like RDP Sharing is turned on but it is not. 2. To actually turn on RDP Sharing, you would need to turn it off then turn it on. This bugfix fixes it so that it correctly shown as off by default and turning it on works. Test Case ========= 0. Start with a clean Ubuntu 22.04 install. Or you can create a new user and log in as the new user. 1. Open the Settings app. 2. In the left sidebar, click Sharing. The switch at the top of the page needs to be off. 3. Turn the switch on. Then click Remote Desktop and turn it on. 4. Close the Settings app. 5. Open the Settings app and verify that Sharing is on and Remote Desktop is on. 6. Close the Settings app. 7. From a terminal, run systemctl --user status gnome-remote-sharing.service It should show the service as active (running) and a line at the bottom should say RDP server started 8. Then run systemctl --user stop gnome-remote-sharing.service 9. Open the Settings app. It should show that Remote Desktop sharing is off. 10. Turn on Sharing and turn on Remote Desktop sharing. 11. Run systemctl --user status gnome-remote-sharing.service It should show the service as active (running) and a line at the bottom should say RDP server started What Could Go Wrong =================== This is a minimal fix proposed upstream. The original implementation was insufficient. The bugfix will allow Remote Desktop to be turned on and work correctly from the beginning. More Details ============ To simplify this bug report, I removed a lot of troubleshooting details that can still be seen with the "See full activity log" link Just opening the Sharing panel flips the gsettings key org.gnome.desktop.remote-desktop.rdp enable to true and apparently tries to start RDP sharing. RDP sharing doesn't work because the TLS keys weren't set yet.
