Since I don't want anybody else to be able to access this I am using a simple VPN (ZeroTier) with a static IP address so that only I can connect to the computer. And even though I have disabled the password and enabled auto login in the system settings and "AutomaticLoginEnable=true" "AutomaticLogin=username" in the "gdm3/nf", sometimes Ubuntu just ignores these settings and sits at the login screen waiting for a user to click on their username to login. Sadly, this VNC server seems to only be started once a user is logged in. Next thing I tried was the built in "Desktop Sharing" function of Ubuntu.
X11vnc doesn't work because it cannot be started before a user has logged in. This also didn't seem to work, because I couldn't share the Display:0 for some reason. So I installed a VNC Server on the machine and have it start on startup on display 0 with X11 enabled / Wayland disabled. Other users have reported the same issues to the TeamViewer support, but they don't care. This also freezes almost all other processes so the only way to fix this is to reboot the machine.
Sadly, TeamViewer is completely broken on Linux and it regularly crashes the window manager, no matter if I use X11 or Wayland in the "gdm3/nf". The first thing I tried was using TeamViewer. I need access to the main desktop (:0), not create a new one. I have installed Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 on my parents computer but want to be able to administrate it from the outside (install updates, fix issues etc).
