I have installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 and installed xrdp package on it and set xfce as desktop environment. When I try to use RDP from Windows I got a login screen with 3 input fields, where session is set to Xorg by default. I typed username and password, but got a blank screen and connection is closed after a few seconds.

If I set X11rdp as session, I get following error message after a few minutes.

x11rdp error message

I followed this tutorial.

Update : Sept 2019

looks like same issue as 18.04.3 LTS XRDP "login failed for display: 0"

known issue with xRDP and Ubuntu 18.04.2. Performing xrdp installation on ubuntu 18.04.2 does not intall xorgxrdp package because dependencies are not met......

To fix this......

Best option - Install the new xorgxrdp-hwe-18.04 package

Install the new xorgxrdp package by issuing the following command

sudo apt-get install xorgxrdp-hwe-18.04

This should fix your issue

Quick and Dirty fix - Downgrade to xorg-xserver-core packages

We assume that you have already installed xRDP package and you want to fix it

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core

sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-input-all

More info on http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=13390

Other option - use xrdp installer script to automate your installation

Note : To use this option, please remove the xrdp package you have installed

You can automate the xrdp installation and have it working nicely with Ubuntu Default Desktop using one of the following scripts

To use Ubuntu repository packages, read instructions and download the script at http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=13933

To compile from source (easy way), read instructions and download the script at http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=13663

Hope this help

Till next time

See ya

  • which version of Ubuntu 18.04 are you running ? ubuntu 18.04.1, 18.04.2... the initial Ubuntu release had no hwe stack package available....can you ensure that your ubuntu 18.04 is up to date.....Provide us output of lsb_release -a – Griffon Jan 31 '21 at 18:05
  • @Jdawiz, you can perform custom installation so solve your issue...or you can download the "missing" package directly from ubuntu packages web site. Additional info, we have installed a fresh ubuntu 18.04.5 and we can find the xorgxrdp-hwe-18.04 package.... We have also replied to your comments you have sent to us directly.... hope this helpful – Griffon Jan 31 '21 at 19:57
  • I replied to you on your site with all my details. I am using 18.0.4.5 and my repositories are all updated. I tried everything except the script with the custom option. I think I am missing dependencies. xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04 & xorg-video-abi-24 – jdawiz Feb 01 '21 at 18:27
