I have a Vultr VPS running Debian 10. It's a newly created instance with no firewall. I have installed xfce
and xrdp
but I am unable to connect to this machine from Windows 10 PC via RDP.
First I installed xfce:
apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utils
Then I installed xrdp:
apt install xrdp
Checking xrdp status shows:
root@vultr:~# systemctl status xrdp
● xrdp.service - xrdp daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/xrdp.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

And after that when I connect from Windows 10 then I get error:
What am I doing wrong?
I don't know what's wrong with Debian but I created another VPS using Ubuntu and when I installed GNOME desktop and xrdp then it worked fine.
