Description Marcus Rückert 2024-04-30 11:07:22 UTC 
dbus-broker-launch[1853]: Looking up NSS user entry for 'gnome-remote-desktop'...
dbus-broker-launch[1853]: NSS returned no entry for 'gnome-remote-desktop'
dbus-broker-launch[1853]: Invalid user-name in /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf +29: user="gnome-remote-desktop"
dbus-daemon[1638]: dbus[1638]: Unknown username "gnome-remote-desktop" in message bus configuration file
Comment 1 Dominique Leuenberger 2024-04-30 11:10:33 UTC 
gnome-remote-desktop is an optional component that can be included by gdm (packaging and sec review is WIP)

The warning in that gdm.conf should only lead to that section about gnome-remote-desktop to not have any effect (only that specific user is permitted to call the dbus method)
Comment 2 Marcus Rückert 2024-04-30 13:57:49 UTC 
well we could comment out the section until the WIP state for the part is done and make the whole startup process less noisy.
Comment 3 Marcus Rückert 2024-05-12 11:53:35 UTC 
for the record. the upstream bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/924 mentions that the gnome-remote-desktop should probably ship their own dbus config and not hijack the gdm file.
