System Settings → Remote Desktop shows grayed-out port, no listener on 3389.
grdctl status shows RDP enabled but Unit status: inactive
Service Failure:
systemctl --user status gnome-remote-desktop.service
× gnome-remote-desktop.service - GNOME Remote Desktop

Certificate issue (despite valid PEM):
[ERROR][com.freerdp.crypto] - [x509_utils_from_pem]: BIO_new failed for
certificate
RDP server certificate is invalid.
Steps already tried:
- Removed ~/.local/share/gnome-remote-desktop.
- dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/remote-desktop/.
- Regenerated TLS cert/key with OpenSSL (PEM, verified with openssl x509 and
openssl rsa).
- Reinstalled gnome-remote-desktop.
- Verified org.freedesktop.secrets and gnome-keyring-daemon are running.
- grdctl rdp set-credentials hangs; grdctl rdp enable gives BIO_new error and
daemon segfaults.
