Ubuntu Server 22.04 with lightdm and GNOME. RDP only works while a monitor is attached to the host. Doesn't RDP initiate a whole other separate session (like in Windows Server), or is this basically remote control into the physical console? Having to have a monitor attached to a server that's not going to be physically touched defeats the purpose of even needing RDP. What gives?

Definitely not an authentication issue.

You will need to configure a dummy monitor then: askubuntu.com/questions/453109/…– TerranceFeb 9, 2023 at 15:40

I've seen and reviewed many posts about doing this, and they all say that once you do this, you can't use a physical monitor. I might be abandoning Ubuntu and going back to Windows. This is one of the most basic necessities for administering a system, and it doesn't work...LOL Why would anyone choose this OS on purpose?– Edward A. LudwigFeb 9, 2023 at 15:48

1Honestly, there really isn't a reason for a monitor or a GUI on a server system. There are many other ways of configuring a server. One is using webmin that allows you to configure and monitor a server through a web interface. You also have command line configurations through SSH. I have a video server here that runs Plex and it also is my OpeVPN connection into my house and there is no monitor on it as I don't need one.– TerranceFeb 9, 2023 at 16:01
