What setting do I need to get the user/password prompt working?I installed xrdp on a headless system using the following script:# X Window Serversudo pacman -Sy xorg-server --noconfirm# Adds Startup scripts in User Foldersudo pacman -S xorg-xinit --noconfirm# Desktop Environmentsudo pacman -S xfce4 --noconfirm# Install Internet Browseryaourt -S icecat --noconfirm# Install xrdpyaourt -S xrdp --noconfirm# Setup /etc/xdp/startwm.shprintf #!/bin/sh\nexec startxfce4 > /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh# Start xrfpsudo systemctl start xrdpsudo systemctl start xrdp-sesmansudo systemctl enable xrdpsudo systemctl enable xrdp-sesmanI want any user to be able to open a connection and arrive at a login screen. Why this?And not this?Open Initial Connection withNotes: uname -srm > Linux 4.6.4-1-ARCH x86_64I can connect to the window manager fine if I provide the proper credentials on the Windows side for the connection. I would like my xrdp server to accept any connection and allow the user to provide credentials at that stage.
Why does xrdp session manager not show a user password login prompt?
arch linux;remote desktop
In xrdp.ini do you have the autorun directive set under [Globals]?It may be the case that it's set to autostart a session and this is why it's failing to provide the logon screen. Try removing this entirely and see what happens. If you don't have this set, post the file here and it'll be easier to diagnose.If you don't have your heart set on xrdp and just need a remote desktop solution I would suggest X2go. The session is done entirely over SSH X11 forwarding and, in my experience, is much more responsive than any of the alternatives. Plus the fact that it's done over SSH is an added bonus security-wise.
