The biggest problem is that grdctl segfaults and I wasn't yet able to figure out why.

Also the System menu does not show up for some reason but if I run the daemon directly from cli screensharing does work.

i think triallax ran into the same thing, and it's the same as the kde version- it only can start the daemon from settings via dbus call to systemd service start api, otherwise it can't and one has to do it manually or maybe have a dinit service etc

(gdb) run
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y

does not even leave main: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/blob/gnome-47/src/grd-ctl.c?ref_type=heads#L1016

that's because the pwd pointer is null because the expected user does not exist

[denisstrizhkin]

I see, it seems it wants a system user

[denisstrizhkin]

Should I create a user like _gnome-remote-desktop ?

[denisstrizhkin]

Something like this I guess

Then only problem remaining then is how to start the services and why it does not show up in System Gnome menu
