Description
Describe the bug
After updating to 2021.12.03.1525, remote control to Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 shows no image. Input (mouse movement, keyboard) works. Was working OK on version 2021.11.02.0914.
Syslog on client gets spammed with:
Dec 9 15:22:23 usuario-HP-ProDesk-400-G4-SFF Remotely_Agent[1972]: Found monitor: 1600,900,0, 0
Dec 9 15:22:23 usuario-HP-ProDesk-400-G4-SFF Remotely_Agent[1972]: The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception.
Dec 9 15:22:23 usuario-HP-ProDesk-400-G4-SFF Remotely_Agent[1972]: System.Drawing.Common is not supported on non-Windows platforms. See https://aka.ms/systemdrawingnonwindows for more information.
Seems to be a .NET 6 "feature".

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing remote control against Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 and inspect the agent syslog around monitor discovery and the Gdip/System.Drawing.Common exception. Done means the remote session displays video again without repeated client errors.
