I'm trying to remote on to Ubuntu (21.10) from Windows 7. I read a few web pages, which suggested to install xrdp, so I did. I'm not an expert on this topic.
From Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection, after entering the correct password, the connection closes immediately.
I followed the accepted answer to this question:
So I commented-out:
#test -x /etc/X11/Xsession && exec /etc/X11/Xsession
#exec /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession
and added:
startxfce4
But it still doesn't work. This is my xrdp log:
