** Description changed: Impact ------ GNOME Remote Desktop won't work for systems that were upgraded from earlier Ubuntu releases. Test Case --------- Install Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 Upgrade to 24.04 LTS Successfully complete both the Basic RDP and Basic Remote Login test cases from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/RemoteDesktop What Could Go Wrong ------------------- The small debian/rules change ensures that systemd-sysusers is run and that it is run after systemd-tmpfiles. Both systemd-* commands are limited to only run the gnome-remote-desktop conf files. The conffiles simply create the gnome-remote-desktop user with an appropriate user directory and ensure the existence of /etc/gnome- remote-desktop/ This is the minimal change needed to fix this bug. GNOME Remote Desktop only works with GNOME Shell so this change only affects Ubuntu Desktop and Edubuntu. This change has no effect on new Ubuntu 24.04 LTS installs because the user and user directory are already created by the installer. It enables remote desktop to work for systems that upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Remote desktop can be a critical feature for some users who may not have local access to the system they are trying to use. However, this feature is a bit less useful before Ubuntu 24.04 LTS which is the first version to support headless remote desktop using RDP.
