I've had trouble accessing Ubuntu over Gnome RDP sharing, except from a Windows machine. I can access Windows machines via RDP using e.g. Remmina, but accessing an Ubuntu host only seems to work for me from Windows regardless of the client I use.



Hmm I've tried it from an Ubuntu and Android (Samsung) client, both seemed to work fine. Maybe a network thing?


What configuration did you use in the client?


Nothing special. I read the Microsoft RDP client is the best one for Android, so just used its defaults.


What about from Ubuntu?


Just the defaults on 22.04/22.10. Have to use Wayland, though, which is still a bit of a mixed experience. The linked Reddit thread has more details.


Like, what client running on Ubuntu though? Remmina? I don't mean the RDP server setup, which is pretty self explanatory in settings. I weirdly can't make Ubuntu --> Ubuntu work, but with either host or client as a Windows machine I have no problem.
