I have observed the following on two different computers:
On Ubuntu 18.04, I am able to install xrdp and log in remotely via Reminna or Windows RDP client without any problems.
If I do a fresh install of 18.04.2 and install xrdp or if I update my working 18.04 installation by running
Code:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
xrdp stops working. That is, when I login using an RDP client, I am presented with the xrdp login screen, but when I select xorg and try to login with my username and password, I see a blue screen for about a minute and then
Code:
connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1
sesman connect ok
sending login info to session manager, please wait...
login successful for display 10
started connecting
connection problem, giving up
some problem
The only difference between the working configuration and the broken one is Ubuntu 18.04 vs 18.04.2 (OR HWE installed using the above command).
Any ideas?
