I was facing the same issue, fixed the issue using this, Anydesk remote server display not supported e.g Wayland

Edit the following lines with $USERNAME
as your Ubuntu username;

# Enabling automatic login
AutomaticLoginEnable=true

I am using my remote desktop via AnyDesk and I have rebooted my remote Ubuntu machine.
Now I want to launch AnyDesk using the command line prompt to access the remote machine using the AnyDesk app.
