** Description changed: - each time i connect to Ubuntu 24.04 via remote desktop , i got a new - fresh session , and rdp not picking and continuing from the previous run + [ Impact ] - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 - Package: gnome-remote-desktop 46.2-1~ubuntu24.04.2 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-31.31-generic 6.8.1 - Uname: Linux 6.8.0-31-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: lkp_Ubuntu_6_8_0_31_31_generic_104 - ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3 - Architecture: amd64 - CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown - CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME - Date: Thu Jul 4 23:10:55 2024 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2024-07-02 (2 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Release amd64 (20240424) - ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - PATH=(custom, no user) - SHELL=/bin/bash - TERM=xterm-256color - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - SourcePackage: gnome-remote-desktop - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + Disconnecting from a GNOME Remote Desktop session terminates the + session, and re-connecting would start a fresh new session. + + This is especially problematic for intermittent connections, where + you're always at risk of losing data when the network disconnects. + + Instead, we would like sessions to remain active in the background when + disconnecting, available for resumption on reconnect. + + To address this, patches in both gdm3 and gnome-remote-desktop are necessary. + The updates can be applied independently without introducing regressions, but you will need both updates applied to gain the new functionality. + There are no new versioned dependencies between gdm and gnome-remote-desktop, to minimize the risk of accidental package removal on upgrade. + + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Configure and enable headless gnome remote desktop, also known as "Remote Login" in Settings + 2. Log out + 3. Connect via RDP + 4. Verify that the log-in screen appears in the RDP client + 5. Log-in + 6. Open some applications + 6. Disconnect, for example by closing the RDP client + 7. Connect via RDP again + 8. Verify that the log-in screen appears again + 9. Log-in to the same user + 10. Verify that you got back into the same session, with all the same apps open + + [ Regression Test Plan ] + + 1. Log-in from a physical machine + 2. Open some applications + 3. Return to the log-in screen by either: + - Select "Switch User" if available, or + - Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 + 4. Log-in to the same user + 5. Verify that you got back into the same session, with all the same apps open + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + Failures could manifest at different levels: + * If GDM crashes, the log-in screen may never appear after log-out or reboot. + * If there's an issue in the GDM session restore logic, it could impact non-remote sessions as well (see section "Regression Test Plan") + * If there's a new bug in gnome-remote-desktop then "Remote Login" may stop working entirely; "Desktop Sharing" remote desktop instead is unaffected by these changes. + + [ Other Info ] + + Please promote both gdm3 and gnome-remote-desktop updates to stable at + the same time.
