SUMMARY
KRDP  - Enabling autostart requires user interaction at startup

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Settings - Remote Desktop -> enable autostart on login
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
It pop ups a dialog asking to share desktop.



EXPECTED RESULT
Whats the point of Wake on Lan and auto-login if I need urgently remote access to my PC ???
KRDP should autostart and share the desktop without any dialog.
Unattended access should be enabled by default if I have it on autostart

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Akseli Lahtinen 2024-06-24 07:10:54 UTC

The dialog should only appear once, if set to "Remember my selection" 

Can you share more information of your system? It's possibly a bug with the portal itself, not KRDP (I know, it's a bit confusing :/ )

Comment 2 Akseli Lahtinen 2024-06-24 07:11:07 UTC

Set as waitingforinfo

On Wayland session there is no such option as remember my selection

When it auto-starts it gives me the option to:
Allow restoring future sessions and then have to click on share.

Can confirm this also does not Autostart on login for me if I have "Autostart on login" checked off. Yet the "Enable RDP server" is not toggled ON. It is OFF.

Comment 5 ttsdzb 2025-01-03 06:41:32 UTC

The "restoring future sessions" seems not working. It keeps asking for sessions before each connections, even if I already checked it before.

However, I didn't experience dialogs at startup. The dialog always shows when a client is making a connection.

OS: Arch Linux

I am seeing this too on Solus Plasma, also the setting remember for future sessions doesn't survive reboot or after a few hours of lock screen.

Comment 7 Tim 2025-02-09 23:19:45 UTC

Getting password read error -7 when I have auto-login enabled in Solus plasma with KRDP auto start. Is it loading too fast and not reading the set password?

Comment 8 David Edmundson 2025-10-15 11:08:54 UTC

This is now somewhat addressed with the readme in:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp/

See the section "CLI"

It's not a perfect UX, but we're making steps towards it
