I am trying to access my Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS from a windows 10 machine using xrdp. Just after I installed xrdp on my Ubuntu, it did work once. But I get a blue screen on my windows machine ever since.

• the xrdp write in the logs:
  • main log:

1. Keyboard input source disappearing problem

I keep having problem with disappearing input source (Croatian) on Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine. I'm connecting to machine with xrdp (session xorg).

I'm able to add it and use it than after some time it just switches back to US keyboard. That goes for terminal, editors, etc.

With a clean Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server running GNOME, everything is working fine when I physically log into the unit. But when I RDP into it as xfce4, the Restart, Shu Down, and Suspend button are all greyed out! The only button that is available is Log Out.

How can this be fixed so I can shutdown, suspend, or reboot via Remote Desktop?

I would like to login to a remote desktop in which xrdp and xfce are already installed and running. I can both login to the machine via ssh from terminal with username and password

ssh user@address

and via private key authentication

I can also login via KRDC, but in this case I login into a xrdp GUI asking for the password, and I'm not able to paste it, which m ...

If I installing xrdp and use Windows (I also tried different devices) RDP to connect it crashes. If I have Xfce installed it connects normally and force uses it over gnome/default envoirnment and skips the log in screen but some functionality is broken.

I have a server with a gui version of Ubuntu installed. I have installed xrdp in order to access it from windows. I had done the same thing once before and when I connected with windows it displayed the normal gnome desktop. When I did it this time it only showed xfce. If I remove xfce than my rdp connection crashes when connecting. How do I get gnome/normal ubuntu desktop envoirment back in xrdp?

I installed xrdp and xfce on Ubuntu 20.04:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt install xfce4 xrdp -y

sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert
sudo systemctl restart xrdp

sudo ufw allow 3389

reboot

Now when using "Microsoft Remote Desktop" app, it opens for like 0.5 second (black) then quickly closes without any errors/etc.

I'm on Ubuntu 21.10 with Budgie desktop. I somehow messed up my audio configuration so that the pulseaudio daemon won't load unless I manually run pulseaudio -D from command line.

System boots but not the desktop. I can remote login to PC and get a desktop, but there is no desktop starting on the main monitor. I just see a blinking cursor in the top of the screen. I can change to a different terminal and log in from there, but I can't get the desktop to appear.

I connect via xRDP from Win 10 to Ubuntu 20.04.3. After entering the password in the xRDP connection screen, I get the gnome session login screen. I enter the password and I can work ok. If the session locks due to timeout, next time I get the login screen it is insensitive to the keyboard so nothing happens when I hit <enter> in the password field. So I cannot use my remote session anymore.

I'm n00b running Xubuntu Core on a Virtual Machine.
I connect to it by xRDP (version 4 I think) and tried VNC but got the same problem
So I don't think it has to do with xRDP or VNC, but something else.

Here is the problem:
Every time I disconnect accidentally, on purpose, or by a timeout and try to login again.
I fill in my username & password and get stuck in this Login-Screen

I'd like to know if it's possible to reconnect to an xrdp session after xrdp has been restarted and the default port has been changed. Programs launched from xrdp are still alive after restarting, but not visible to the new xrdp session.

I am able to log in manually by going to the computer and entering it there, but I am unable to log in by using remote desktop. I enter my password and it just stays at the login screen. Is there a permission I need to give to be able to log in remotely? (Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am pretty new to Linux)

This is what I see: LoginScreen

I'm trying to remote on to Ubuntu (21.10) from Windows 7. I read a few web pages, which suggested to install xrdp, so I did. I'm not an expert on this topic.

I am using a recently installed Lubuntu 20.04.3, in an old PC. I mean to connect via xRDP from both Ubuntu (remmina) and Windows 10 PCs, and so far I cannot from either.

In my role as a tutor I often have to set up test Ubuntu installations to help students that use Ubuntu - I myself use Windows (sorry!).

For convenience I always install xrdp, and I found out by Googling and lots of experiment that I need to also install xorgxrdp. Then I can RDP to the test installations from my Windows workstation and this all works very well.

If I don't install xorgxrdp my RDP ses ...

I followed this guide to make an xfce set up with i3 as the window manager. On the log in screen, I have to select Xubuntu (out of i3, XFCE, and Xubuntu) to log in. I've tried changing ~/.xsession to startxfce4, xubuntu-session, i3-session, but they either don't work or drop me into regular XFCE.

How do I tell xrdp that I want to remote into XFCE + i3wm instead of just XFCE?

I am an administrator of the Ubuntu Server. I have 7 users. They log in through RDP. So I need to disable the clipboard from their local machine to the remote system. How to achieve this?

Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

Some times ago I have installed xrdp (0.9.5) on my Dell tower (OS Ubuntu 18.04) in order to be able to work on it from home, from my laptop (OS Windows 10 Pro, Version 2004, OS build 19041.1165).

In itself, everything has worked fine, as I can use RDC from my Win laptop to log in and work on the Dell tower. However, now that I am back at the office, I discovered that if I try to work locally on th ...
