Remote Desktop on Ubuntu 24.04 has been a train wreck — I haven’t achieved a single successful Remote Desktop session of any type, even when the machines are literally next to each-other on the same switch.

Ah. It appears that it is not possible to enable “Remote Desktop” on a remotely installed Ubuntu — you have to use the desktop Settings app locally.

This of course is impossible if you don’t have a display attached (a headless install). Or if you have remote access but forgot to enable it before it was deployed somewhere inaccessible…
