I'm trying to use xrdp (latest version 0.9.12-1) to connect from windows 10 to Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS. When I get to this login screen, I type in my credentials, click ok, then xrdp just freezes for around 5 minutes, then unfreezes again but stays on the same screen and nothing happens. How do I fix this?
I tried the following steps from another post with the same question, but it didn't work for me:
sudo apt-get purge xrdp
sudo apt-get install xrdp
sudo apt-get install xfce4
sudo apt-get install xfce4-goodies
sudo cp /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini.bak
sudo sed -i 's/3389/3390/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
sudo sed -i 's/max_bpp=32/#max_bpp=32\nmax_bpp=128/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
sudo sed -i 's/xserverbpp=24/#xserverbpp=24\nxserverbpp=128/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
echo xfce4-session > ~/.xsession
sudo nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
comment these lines to:
#test -x /etc/X11/Xsession && exec /etc/X11/Xsession
#exec /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession
add these lines:
xfce
startxfce4
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp start
