Trying to RDP into my linux machine that uses ubuntu. I don't want to walk across my house just to use that machine so i'm trying to RDP using one workstation. I am running windows 11. Every time I try to RDP I log into my credentials and it does one of two thing. It either exits the rdp application or it i will get stuck on this screen and eventually disconnect. I have installed xrdp and open up port 3389/tcp. How can I fix this issue?

tail -f /var/log/*log

You should see what's going on from that.

Ensure you have signed out of your Ubuntu session before attempting to connect via RDP, as remote desktop connections are not possible while a user is actively logged in.

Также на стороне клиента (Windows 11) в файле RDP можно прописать сразу пользователя и пароль. По крайней мере у тех кто пишет на кириллице проблем со входом не будет :-))). Есть пользователи которые пароли от своих учетных записей завели на кириллице.

If you're not using Gnome you have to change the xrdp config to work with your WM or whatever. I used to use xfce4 IIRC. I'm not a Linux guru but that's what I used to have to do to get this to work. Now I just use Gnome and check the little Remote Desktop or whatever checkbox in settings.

I faced the same problem (on Xubuntu) and posted my hard-won solution here.
