xrdp "window manager exited quickly"

tc flag

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.

From Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection, after entering the correct password, the connection closes immediately.

I followed the accepted answer to this question:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/523152/xrdp-disconnects-immediately-after-connection-from-windows10-centos-to-centos7

So I commented-out:

#test -x /etc/X11/Xsession && exec /etc/X11/Xsession
#exec /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession

and added:

startxfce4

But it still doesn't work. This is my xrdp log:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
