[Software] XRDP Won't Display Desktop

#1 Post by gateship1 »

I just set up an Optiplex 7050 Micro with a fresh install of Debian 11 Gnome. The only thing installed so far is available updates, openssh server, and xrdp. I followed install guides for xrdp and can connect to the machine, but I get a white page with a sorry message. At first I could see a shrunk down windows of Debian's welcome window and was able to click next until it disappeared but there is still no desktop. Checking the status of xrdp shows

I have doubled verified the install steps and there is no firewall for this machine. I imagine it is something I am overlooking but am at a loss.

Thank you
