/usr/lib/systemd/system/gnome-remote-desktop.service has User=gnome-remote-desktop
But it seems that user isn't created by the package? I wonder if that would part of the issue but then it should be happening also on other systems... Could you try to manually start $ /usr/libexec/gnome-remote-desktop-daemon --system and see if that prints a more explicit error maybe? ** Changed in: gnome-remote-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- 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/2063333 Title: gnome-remote-desktop.service: Failed to determine user credentials: No such process Status in gnome-remote-desktop package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a RISC-V Ubuntu 24.04 I installed ubuntu-desktop.
