Voidrice: xrdp Not Working

[rescenic]

I installed xrdp to remote it via another machine.
I configured it like these:

sudo pacman -S xrdp
sudo cp /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini.bak
sudo sed -i 's/max_bpp=32/#max_bpp=32\nmax_bpp=128/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
sudo sed -i 's/xserverbpp=24/#xserverbpp=24\nxserverbpp=128/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

then

sudo nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
-------------------------------------
#Comment all other lines
startx

then

nano ~/.xsession
-------------------------------------
startx

startx doesn't work for xrdp.
Thank you very much for your attention.

What does this have to do with Luke's rice?

You probably cant run startx for a few reasons...

1. Did you enable x11 forwarding with the SSH flag?
2. Does said server have x11 forwarding enabled?

And I don't quite know about starting a full window manager over ssh. You might try apache guacamole.

xrdp comes with bash env. So default shell for larbs is zsh. Maybe someone has tried it.

Ok, I'll try to check those settings. BRB.

X11 forwarding needs to be enabled on both the client side and the server side.

On the client side, the -X (capital X) option to ssh enables X11 forwarding, and you can make this the default (for all connections or for a specific conection) with ForwardX11 yes in ~/.ssh/config.

On the server side, X11Forwarding yes must specified in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Note that the default is no forwarding (some distributions turn it on in their default /etc/ssh/sshd_config), and that the user cannot override this setting.

I don't think it has to do with shell.

Also look into https://guacamole.apache.org/

@vladdoster I'll try again in few hours. Thanks for your advice. I'll report it back after I use your advice.
