Posted August 16, 2017 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.

Posted August 19, 2017 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.

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. Please Quote or tag me @GigabitXe to make sure I see your reply.

Posted August 20, 2017 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. Please Quote or tag me @GigabitXe to make sure I see your reply.
