I downloaded Anydesk (4.0.1 64bit) on both my laptop and desktop and when I run it from one pc and try to connect to the other I get the following error
remote server display not supported e.g Wayland.
Both PCs are running Ubuntu 18.04.2.
I tried search for a solution, I found a suggestion to disable Wayland in the file /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
setting WaylandEnable=false but nothing changed.

After installing Anydesk on my Ubuntu 18.04 server and trying to connect from a Mac, I would get a display_server_not_supported error. I was able to resolve this by going into the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file and changing:
[daemon] # Enabling automatic login AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=$USERNAMEAfter rebooting the Ubuntu server, Anydesk now connects and shows the login screen and I can login just fine.
3I had the same problem connecting Anydesk Windows 7 to Anydesk UBUNTU. At some point Ubuntu and Wayland started from some cause. As you wrote WaylandEnable = false did not help. It helped me to opt out of the user and when I sign in before I confirm the password, choose (under the gear) only pure Ubuntu without Wayland. You can try if it also works for you.
