Issue with xrdp

I encountered this issue today. It turns out it was caused by gnome (more specifically, the MESA GL library).

Didn’t want to waste more time on this. So I installed xfce4 and used it instead. That solved the problem.

Here are the steps:

  1. Install xfce4
    sudo apt install xfce4
  2. Comment out the last two lines in /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
  3. Add the following line to /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
    startxfce4
  4. Restart xrdp
    sudo service xrdp restart
