# Unable to connect to Remote Desktop

**Problem**

You are trying to establish a remote connection to a Linux computer using Endpoint Central and your connection fails.

**Cause**

You cannot establish a connection if X Window system is not available in the agent machine.

**Resolution**

1. If you do not have any GUI component, you will have to manually download the X Window system and install it on the agent machine.

   - Ubuntu 22 and above
   - Redhat (RHEL 8) and above
   - Fedora 25 and above
3. To disable Wayland follow the steps given below:
   - Open the file `/etc/gdm3/custom.conf` in a text editor
   - Uncomment the line: *"#WaylandEnable=false"* (remove the `#` before the line)
