xrdp another xserver might already be active on Xubuntu 16.04

  • 772

I'm trying to establish a RDP connection from Windows 10 to a Xubuntu 16.04.3 machine through XRDP. I followed this guide with the addition of adding PPA so to update the version of XRDP to 0.9.1.
The major difference from this guide andy my system is that I do not have the option Sesman-xorgxrdp option but instead xorg.

When I try to connect from my Windows machine I eventually got this error:

RDP error

/var/log/xrdp-sesman.log provides me the following information:

sesman-log

And the corresponding /var/log/xrdp/log xrdplog

As this post suggests it could be something to do with system fonts so I implemented this fontutil.h fix without any change.

Could someone please provide with with an fix as google search for 'another Xserver might already be active on display 10' gives me a plethora of possible solutions for which I do not have the time to test.

Kind regards

xubuntu

    I've given up to get XRDP working since I've found VMware Remote Console which has the same usability, only through an external application. Problem 'solved'.
