xrdp not working

[GigabitXe]

I am trying to set up xrdp on my Ubuntu web server and I cannot get it to work. When I try to connect via Remote Desktop on Windows, it takes me to the xrdp login screen and I am able to input all of my credentials.

When I hit OK this is what outputs:

 

I have been troubleshooting for hours now and I cannot figure out what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is anyone there?

Connect from Linux to Windows GUI or viceversa?

Arch usually has pretty good instructions, just ignore the arch specific stuff. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrdp

this one is for 14.04 but should help, I think xfce is used because its really light. https://www.tweaking4all.com/software/linux-software/use-xrdp-remote-access-ubuntu-14-04/

Ubuntu is pretty slim on details, usally that means there isn't much to it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/xrdp

found this for 16.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/760198/how-to-use-xrdp-with-unity-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts

 

Good luck.

Viceversa. I am trying to access my linux server from my Windows 10 machine.

I have actually looked at some of those links already, but not others. Some of them look promising and I will get back to you.

I tried all of the things listed in these links and I am still getting errors. I have just about given up.

I have no Windows in my house, I would have tested this myself to see what goes wrong for you although I see a "password failed" in your picture but debugging such things on forums is a pain. I read that xrdp uses VNC behind the scenes so you probably didn't configure that right.

 

I think it would be easier for you at this point to give X2Go a try. But X2Go limits you to desktop environments that don't use video hardware acceleration. This seems to be the case with xrdp too from what I read although there seem to be workarounds. So, X2Go with MATE, XFCE or LXDE or the sluggish VNC with pretty much any desktop.

 

P.S.: X2Go is incredibly fast, I actually have customers that pay monthly for a service I offer based around this because they are that impressed. Anyone that has used VNC for a while and accepted the 4 frames per second and bad jpeg quality as the norm will have a "Wooow!" moment when using X2Go for the first time.

Thanks so much for the recommendation! I will try this when I get back from vacation.
