How to stop ubuntu from prompting for confirmation for remote desktop

Question

I was trying to setup a remote desktop solution for an Ubuntu virtual machine running version 22.04 LTS, installed on a Mac Mini that I now use as a home server. However, after I installed TeamViewer host and granted easy access, Ubuntu is still prompting for permission each time I try to connect.

The prompt is titled "Remote Desktop" and says "Select monitor to share with the requesting application" with a toggle to "Allow remote interaction."

Does anyone know how to suppress this prompt?

In order to switch to X11:

Edit the gdm config:
```
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
```
Uncomment
```
"WaylandEnable=false"
```

and reboot.

It looks like you need to switch to X11 rather than Wayland for graphics. See this article.

I've just switch back to X11 and logged in without a problem.
