  gnome-remote-desktop.service: Failed to determine user credentials: No
  such process

  Fix Released
Status in gnome-remote-desktop source package in Noble:

Status in gnome-remote-desktop package in Debian:

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  GNOME Remote Desktop won't work for systems that were upgraded from earlier Ubuntu releases.

  Test Case
  ---------
  Install Ubuntu Desktop 23.10
  Upgrade to 24.04 LTS
  Successfully complete both the Basic RDP and Basic Remote Login test cases from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/RemoteDesktop

  What Could Go Wrong
  -------------------
  The small debian/rules change ensures that systemd-sysusers is run and that it is run after systemd-tmpfiles.

  Both systemd-* commands are limited to only run the gnome-remote-
  desktop conf files.

  The conffiles simply create the gnome-remote-desktop user with an
  appropriate user directory and ensure the existence of /etc/gnome-
  remote-desktop/

  This is the minimal change needed to fix this bug.

  GNOME Remote Desktop only works with GNOME Shell so this change only
  affects Ubuntu Desktop and Edubuntu. This change has no effect on new
  Ubuntu 24.04 LTS installs because the user and user directory are
  already created by the installer. It enables remote desktop to work
  for systems that upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Remote desktop can be a
  critical feature for some users who may not have local access to the
  system they are trying to use. However, this feature is a bit less
  useful before Ubuntu 24.04 LTS which is the first version to support
  headless remote desktop using RDP.

  Other Info
  ----------
  The added lines to postinst are marked with a leading +:

   if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ] || [ "$1" = "abort- deconfigure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-remove" ] ; then
   if [ -z "${DPKG_ROOT:-}" ]; then
     if deb-systemd-helper --user debian-installed 'gnome-remote-desktop-handover.service' ; then
      # The following line should be removed in trixie or
   trixie+1
      deb-systemd-helper --user unmask 'gnome-remote-desktop-handover.service' >/dev/null || true

  Workaround
  ----------
  If you are affected by this issue, you can safely run the same 3 commands that this upgrade would run:

  sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/gnome-remote-
  desktop-tmpfiles.conf

  sudo systemd-sysusers /usr/lib/sysusers.d/gnome-remote-desktop-
  sysusers.conf

  sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/gnome-remote-
  desktop-tmpfiles.conf
