Capypara | does anybody else have this issue? if anybody can confirm it I would open an issue on GitHub | 18:06:19 |
Capypara | both modes aren't working btw, I can turn on unattended RDP but it still doesn't work and also doesn't show me the port its running on in the setting, which tells me it's not turning on properly. the service logs nothing. | 18:07:48 |

are all the logs
| 18:08:06 |
Capypara | oh, when I switch on or off unattended RDP I get these errors:
Feb 13 19:08:53 kirschbaum gnome-control-center[536433]: Failed to disable RDP server: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Failed disabling gnome-remote-desktop.service: Failed to execute child process “pkexec” (No such file or directory)

| 18:09:11 |
Capypara | it seems GNOME needs pkexec to do this | 18:09:23 |
Capypara | i don't know what pkexec is | 18:09:29 |
QuadRadical (Ping) | pkexec is a gui privelage escalation tool like sudo but with a gui | 19:46:33 |
QuadRadical (Ping) | i assume its installed? | 19:46:38 |

| @juancnuno:matrix.org left the room. | 05:01:56 |
Capypara | yeah | 10:41:31 |
Capypara | I asked in the GNOME channel and a few other places and haven't really gotten any responses, does nobody use GNOME Remote Desktop? | 10:42:04 |
Capypara | I'll asume this is a general issue then and open an issue | 10:42:59 |
