Title:
gnome-remote-desktop.service: Failed to determine user
We had the same problem (on amd64).
It turned out that gnome-remote-desktop wasn't the cause of the login
screen not showing up. The cause was that we created /etc/nologin during
installation and that file isn't removed anymore by 'shutdown' (it used

After executing the command:
$ sudo systemd-sysusers

would part of the issue but then it should be happening also on other
