PROBLEM: can't connect to my Ubuntu server through RDP.
MSTSC RETURNS:
[Window Title]
Remote Desktop Connection
[Content]
Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
- Remote access to the server is not enabled
- The remote computer is turned off
- The remote computer is not available on the network
Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.

XRDP INSTALLATION PROCESS I USED:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xrdp net-tools xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utils
#I followed different installation guides in case the problem was caused by lacking some packages + I installed net-tools to check stuff with netstat
- sudo systemctl status
#checked that xrdp was running
- sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert
- sudo systemctl restart xrdp
- sudo ufw allow from any to any port 3389
- sudo ufw allow 3389
SOLUTIONS I TRIED:
- made sure that xrdp was listening to 3389 using netstat
- made sure that 3389 port was opened
- made sure that the VM port was opened in the VM hosting service I use
- made sure that the xrdp.ini file didn't have incorrect setting inside
- made sure use_vsocket was set to =false
- made sure that automatic login was turned off
- tried logging out and connecting through mstsc, got the same result
- tried rebooting :)
- went through xrdp logs with journalctl xrdp - seems like there was no connection
INFORMATION THAT MIGHT BE VALUABLE:
- for connection I'm trying to use the default user "ubuntu" with sudo privileges which was created during VM set up
- I'm new
