xrdp: XRDP doesn't work with gnome

Hello, I tried to install an XRDP server on gnome, kde and unity desktops. Spend 4 days, but still without success. Here are my results till now: Debian 9.1 Gnome - XRDP doesn’t work Debian 9.1 KDE - XRDP doesn’t work Ubuntu 17.04 Gnome - XRDP doesn’t work Ubuntu 17.04 Unity - XRDP doesn’t work CentOS 7.3 Gnome - XRDP WORKS!!! Fedora 26 Gnome - XRDP doesn’t work

As you can see only CentOS works with XRDP. It might be problems on my machine. What do I have: Server - Dell Poweredge T30 GPU - Intel HD Graphics 530

I found that only CentOS doesn’t have drivers for this graphic card. So, maybe when my graphic card is used then XRDP doesn’t work in this scenario.

I tried to install default xrdp distro packets and compile XRDP 0.9.3 by myself. Both ways failed.

Here are my XRDP logs from Fedora:

Please, if you have any ideas / suggestions how to instal XRDP I would be happy!

I created the script called /usr/libexec/xrdp/startwm-local.sh containing the two lines (revised version:)

#!/bin/sh
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 /usr/libexec/xrdp/startwm-bash.sh

Then in the config file /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini where it says DefaultWindowManager write startwm-local.sh as the value.

I’m still not sure whose fault this is, because if I start vncserver manually then GNOME fires up no problem inside it. There is something about the xrdp environment that causes GNOME not to start its own dbus.

I too can’t run xrdp on modern distributions out of box, but can with some modifications.

For Ubontu 17.04: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy and switch allowed_users=anybody. This because of better X11 security in modern distributions. Then install mate and modify /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh:

#!/bin/sh
# xrdp X session start script (c) 2015 mirabilos
# published under The MirOS Licence

if test -r /etc/default/locale; then

At least this configuration works for me with xrdp from repo.

Hi, I had similar problem in my CentOS7 VM. The reason was using of python3.6 by default. I defined PATH to python3.6 at the head of PATH: export PATH=/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH CentOS uses python2 by default and after the PATH change I got the problem with xrdp. The following change in the PATH definition fixed the problem: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/anaconda3/bin

GNOME does seem a bit temperamental to start up. On Fedora 24 it worked most of the time, and I now have it working on Fedora 26 but I had to hack the startwm script to start a dbus. Without starting a dbus, I get this output from gnome-session:

** (process:25696): WARNING **: Could not make bus activated clients aware of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME environment variable: Could not connect: Connection refused

My fix is to name the following startwm script in the sesman.ini config:

$ cat /usr/libexec/xrdp/startwm-local.sh 
#!/bin/sh
exec dbus-launch /usr/libexec/xrdp/startwm-bash.sh

+1 for this issue.

I was able to get xrdp running on kali by simply moving away from gnome.

apt install lxde xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server                                                                                                               
sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
  #chose lxsession
service xrdp-sesman start
service xrdp start

Not ideal but better than nothing. Hope this helps someone like it helped me. 😃

Logout out of your console gnome session. Then try to login through xrdp. Try to use some other user that you know for sure is not logged in.

I do xrdp connection prior to any logins

so this this irrelevant. Will use xfce, too tired of banging with gnome. Thanks for help anyway.

I would try:

  1. Logout out of your console gnome session. Then try to login through xrdp.
  2. Try to use some other user that you know for sure is not logged in.
  3. Try to install vanilla Fedora (most recent). Install xrdp and xrdp-selinux. Then xrdp will just work. Again, this user should not be logged in when you are connecting with xrdp.

@Suncatcher What I did on 17.10;

  1. Replace gdm3 with lightdm, make sure login with X11 session, install mate and xrdp from repo.
  2. Config /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config with allowed_users=anybody, needs_root_rights=no
  3. /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh contents:
#!/bin/sh
# xrdp X session start script (c) 2015 mirabilos

I have physical 17.04 installation. With xrdp from repo doesn’t work for me too (mate-session works fine). Seems build from source is necessary.

xrdp works with gnome: My setup: Ubuntu 17.04 installed with gnome desktop xrdp 0.9.4 compiled from sources according to the debian8 documentation on the wiki /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf

allowed_users =anybody
needs_root_rights=no

startwm.sh (or ~/.xsession)

/usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-binary --session=gnome

(the /usr/bin/gnome-session script doesn’t work)
