RustDesk does not support Wayland yet; you need switch to X11 manually.
RustDesk now has experimental Wayland support since version 1.2.0.
Ubuntu | Fedora | Arch Linux
Login screen using Wayland is not supported yet. If you wanna access login screen after reboot or logout with RustDesk, you need to change login screen to X11, please modify below line to WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf or /etc/gdm3/custom.conf:
#WaylandEnable=false
Please reboot to make above changes taking effect.
If SELinux is enabled, RustDesk will not work properly in either X11 or Wayland environments, related issues.
You can run:
$ sudo grep 'comm="rustdesk"' /var/log/audit/audit.log | tail -1
