Hi,
I’m on Fedora 41 (Gnome 47) and got persistent gnome RDP sessions working great (using the keyring answer #22 from 22.04 - Remote Desktop Sharing authentication password changes every reboot - Ask Ubuntu).
I use ProtonVPN for my VPN and locally the app works fine, but when I try to launch in a remote session it fails with a DBus error as below. This seems unique to the remote session, and I post it here because it seems (to me) to be more of a DBus issue than a ProtonVPN specific one.
I’m far from a DBus expert so don’t really know even where to start. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan
