How do you get this to work for a headless server in Vmware. I am up to 41540.

I’m using Clear Linux on bare metal (a NUC).
My hardware server RDP session did not work: See hardware description and relevant error messages below. I set the settings in the console gnome-session settings to enable remote desktop. I noticed that port 3389 was opened for listening.
I logged in with the windows RDP client mstc.exe to the server. I was challenged by a password as expected but once the session started it was a black screen, which eventually times out.

I finally had a chance to test it myself, and it works a treat! One thing to note is that if there is an active GNOME session on the remote machine and you want to RDP into that, you should RDP into port #3390 (the “old style” RDP, aka “Desktop Sharing” or “remote assistance”). Otherwise, if you want to start a new GNOME session, RDP into port 3389, as usual.
Many thanks to @arjan and all the other CL devs!

I just did as suggested by @Aqua1ung RDP into :3390 and that worked.
I had a running GNOME session and connected into that as far as I can tell that worked perfectly. So Other’s know you have setup both the Desktop Sharing and Remote Desktop connection in the GNOME settings as shown:
I just need to find out why the non-shared desktop method does not work, but shared desktop capability is great.
Remote Sharing works, but I can only temporarily enable Remote Login. When I close and re-open settings it will be shown as turned off again. Also I can not edit any details besides the enable toggle and the hostname. I am on 42290
