Xrdp: RDP error in kali (WSL)

[Lucifer-00007]

hey! I started kali linux on AWS later on CMD i tried to connect to rdp for kali and I am getting this error !!
I have done these:-``` root@kali:/home/ec2-user# apt install xrdp,
apt-get install tightvncserver,
apt-get update
apt-get install xrdp lxde-core lxde tigervnc-standalone-server -y
nano /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

                                 (  allowed_users=ec2-user  )

root@kali:/home/ec2-user# systemctl start xrdp
Failed to start xrdp.service: Unit xrdp.service not found.
root@kali:/home/ec2-user#

Where's your xrdp.service?

[Lucifer-00007]

it is present in remote desktop.

if you want to know what i did see this:-{ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYtdVSSy-zg }
i followed this tutorial to start the command line interface in cmd of kali linux .

later i found that i need GUI of Kali Linux so i started to follow this:-{ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO9O0FOQkU4&t=1s }

and in this video this part :-
root@kali:/home/ec2-user# systemctl start xrdp
Failed to start xrdp.service: Unit xrdp.service not found.
root@kali:/home/ec2-user#

didnot worked for me, now what should i do??

[matt335672]

It looks like something's gone wrong with your xrdp installation.

What are the outputs of these commands?

dpkg -l "*xrdp*"
dpkg -L xrdp

[metalefty]

I meant usually xrdp.service is located in /lib/systemd/system/xrdp.service or somewhere like there. Can you confirm if xrdp.service really present?

[sbroers]

You must enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl enable xrdp-sesman
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start xrdp

dpkg -l "*xrdp*"
dpkg -L xrdp

hey!! this is:-👇👇👇

"ec2-user@kali:~$ sudo dpkg -l "xrdp"
dpkg-query: no packages found matching xrdp

ec2-user@kali:~$ sudo dpkg -L xrdp
dpkg-query: package 'xrdp' is not installed
Use dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list archive files contents."

🙋‍♂️what I got. Now what should I do??

[Lucifer-00007]

sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl enable xrdp-sesman
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start xrdp

👆👆didn't work for me...

[metalefty]

It is natural it didn't work because xrdp is not installed.

[metalefty]

The commandlet that @sbroers has shown is misleading for your case. Just forget about it.
It is effective if everything going fine but yours is not going fine and we're try to find out what is going wrong.

[matt335672]

The very first command you mentioned in the first post seems to have failed.

What do these commands give you (notice the asterisks in the second one):-

```
sudo apt install -y xrdp
sudo dpkg -l "xrdp"

👆👆This is my output brother. Now how should i proceed?

thanks to all of you for your help!! I am new to this coding field and till now i have learned a lot of things from you all.😊😊

Your package database is in a mess. As a result, you are not able to install xrdp at all, much less run it. The apt command simply won't work in this situation.

You'll need to fix the errors above before you can continue.

I suggest you remove any PPAs you've installed as a starter. See here [askubuntu.com] bearing in mind you won't be able to install the ppa-purge utility if it isn't already installed.
