How to get real unattended access to Ubuntu 22LTS?

Hi folks,

I have the problem that I could not suppress a final confirmation to "Select monitor to share":

Seems like it comes from Ubuntu.

I have done already the steps form: (Grant easy access or personal password)

So I can access easily without a password. ((But it needs somebody in front of the PC to click at the confirmation above, what is not possible if I'm not at home and want to control my PC))

https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/108689-set-up-unattended-access

The option: Options > Security > Unattended access

Seems not available in the current Version: 15

Also I guess that the Confirmation comes from Ubuntu.

I already allowed "Remote Desktop" at: Settings>Sharing

((Even if it normally is for integrated VNC-Server.))

    Hello @MichaelFranziskus 😃

    Welcome to the TeamViewer Community! 🎉

    • Could you double-check if you have Wayland enabled?

    The TeamViewer version 15.29.4 brought improvements for compatibility with Wayland; however, unattended access is still not possible with it.

    👉 You would need to disable Wayland and use your Ubuntu 22 with Xorg.

    For more details, please see the discussion:

    https://community.teamviewer.com/English/discussion/122410/teamviewer-support-on-wayland-experimental-state

    I hope this information helps!

    Let me know if you have any further questions. 😊

    Best,

    Carol 👩🏻‍🦰🌷

    Hi Carol,

    thanks for your answer.

    I've seen the hint to use the beta of wayland.

    But there are much modules missing so I havn't clicked it.

    @cmbdakri

    sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

    make sure you have

    WaylandEnable=false (without the #)

    sudo reboot systemctl restart gdm3

    sudo reboot now

    it should be fixed

    I had the same problem : could not get unattended access due to "select monitor" dialog window popping up on the remote machine.

    Disabling Wayland solved that but created another issue :(

    I have a couple of PTZ IP camera's on the remote machine, viewed by rtsp in VLC. But that apparently requires Wayland enabled on that machine, W/O Wayland VLC can not open the rtsp streams.

    Unplugging 2 of 3 monitors leaves a popup with the only remaining monitor check marked for sharing :(

    I found a simpler solution, I posted it here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1514372/59832

    Just figured this out. I used ssh to login to Ubuntu then did:

    sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

    In this file I changed:

    [daemon]
    
AutomaticLoginEnable=False

    to:

    [daemon]
    
AutomaticLoginEnable=True

    I saved the file then did:

    sudo service gdm3 restart

    I am now able to login to Ubuntu with TeamViewer.
