Fix Blank Screen for Ubuntu Workstations (Ubuntu 16+)

Ubuntu uses the wayland display manager instead of the regular x11 server. This causes MeshCentral to show a blank screen when trying to access the remote desktop feature. You can't login, view or control the client. There is a neat fix for this, so don't worry:

sudo sed -i '/WaylandEnable/s/^#//g' /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
sudo systemctl restart gdm

This will cause your screen to go blank for a second. You will be able to use remote desktop afterwards.

If you get an error like "file not found", you are probably still using Ubuntu 19 or below. On these machines, the config file will be located on /etc/gdm/custom.conf. Modify the command above accordingly. < Please note that remote desktop features are only installed when you used the workstation agent. You may need to reinstall your mesh agent.

WARNING

• You should only attempt this if the agent removal feaure on TacticalRMM is not working.
• Running uninstall will not remove the connections from the TacticalRMM and MeshCentral Dashboard. You will need to manually remove them. It only forcefully removes the agents from your linux box.
