Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧<p>EDIT: <br>As is always the way after asking technical questions, literally seconds after posting this, I discovered a setting called 'Automatic Screen Blank'. I don't know why that would affect RDP (or kill it), but it was set to 5 minutes and that seems about the length of time it takes for the RDP session to terminate... I disabled it and have been watching the RDP window sit open for longer than 5 minutes, so I think this may actually have fixed it.</p><p>Typical. But thanks for all the speedy boosts!</p><p>Original post:<br>Not having a lot of luck searching for this, so I figured I'd ask the Fediverse and see if I can find some people better at <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> than me!</p><p>I've just build a new <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> 42 Workstation Edition VM with desktop GUI. I've set up RDP and can successfully connect and use it for a bit.</p><p>However, after a while, I get disconnected, and when I try and reconnect it just connects and immediately disconnects with no error. The only way to reconnect via RDP is to go onto the console and move the mouse. As soon as I do that, RDP starts working again. For a bit.</p><p>I thought it was when the console was locking, but I've disabled the screen lock and it still happens.</p><p>Anyone using RDP to Linux? I suppose I could try something else (I'm on a Mac, but my hypervisor is currently Windows Server 2019, so until I get around to rebuilding that, I'll need RDP installed...), but RDP is native to Fedora, so it seemed sensible to me.</p>

Patrick Wu :neocat_flag_bi:<p>Fedora 42 is kinda messing with my mind right now... the GRUB2 entry all become "Fedora Linux 42 (Workstation Edition)" without Kernel version... After some investigation, realized on line 192 in `/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/90-loaderentry.install`, for all kernel entries generated to /boot/loader/entries/, it only uses $PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release for $title while GRUB2 loads only the $title... after modifying the title, it finally went normal...</p><p><a href="https://o0o.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://o0o.social/tags/fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedora</span></a> <a href="https://o0o.social/tags/grub2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grub2</span></a> <a href="https://o0o.social/tags/grub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grub</span></a></p>
