Xrdp disconnects at login

General system
1

Newbie here, installed Endeavour in spare PC as server, machine boots locally to a GUI no proble, but I need to be able to access this remotely via RDP.

I have installed xrdp & xorgxrdp-git using AUR

It did not work via RDP from Windows 10 - get initial log in but then hangs and won’t load desktop, and I’ve taken the following steps to no avail (it now cuts off the RDP connection after logging in in RDP)

Followed instructions under ’ Running as Terminal Server (Xorg)’
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrdp

There is no ~exinitrc present.

Have amended /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc so the last line reads ‘exec startxfce4’ (commenting out the existing exec xterm… line present)

In /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini, the [Xorg]:param argument is defined as ‘the path to the X11 server executable’ and is currently at its default value of ‘Xorg’. I am unable to locate an executable on the system called ‘xorg’. There is one called xstart, but I am unsure if this is suitable here.

/etc/xrdp/startwm.sh has been left at default, which I think is to source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Still no joy

I do not really understand what ~/.xsession / ~/.xsessionrc are, but those files are not present.

I now have this working only if I log out of GUI locally…

is there a way to have both logged in at same time on same user ID?

you can try to find use xrdp in combination with example, Tigervnc , xrdp can work with vnc modules too mayby have more suc6 on there part…

New newbie. :slight_smile: Trying to do what you went through a few months ago, was wondering if you could expand on what you did and/or provide config files?

I’ve already attempted to create a new user via useradd to use for RDP purposes to get around the one person logged in issue. Still getting blank RDP windows.

Thanks much!

Hi and welcome to the forum! The user you’ve replied to has not been seen here in about 2 years. I would say it is somewhat unlikely you’re going to get assistance from him any time soon.

It would be a better idea to start a new thread and describe in detail what you need help with.
