Can't do remote desktop connection from Windows

[maspai]

xrdp is already installed using

Code: Select all

slapt-src -i xrdp

and then

Code: Select all

service start xrdp

Doing remote desktop connection from Windows, I let the default module (sesman-Xvnc) and just input my username and password in Salix. But only message

Code: Select all

connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350

appears for long time.
I didn't experience this in my old Ubuntu. Thanks for help.

Hi,

do you have enabled all ports for xrdp connection?

127.0.0.1 is your current PC, not any other PC. You're trying to connect to your windows PC, from your windows PC.

How to see enabled ports and to enable a port?

127.0.0.1 is your current PC, not any other PC. You're trying to connect to your windows PC, from your windows PC.

In Windows remote desktop connection dialog, at first I input IP address of my Salix PC. Doesn't this indicate target PC to connect to?

I have no idea what that windows dialog you mention looks like or how it should work. I do know however that 127.0.0.1 always means "current PC".

The dialog looks like this: http://winsupersite.com/site-files/wins ... dc-rdc.jpg. There I input IP address or hostname of target PC. Yes, I know 127.0.0.1 equals localhost.

Did you follow the instructions in the Slackbuild README?...

http://slackware.org.uk/slackbuilds.org ... rdp/README

For example, you need to set your Salix Window Manager session in /etc/xrdp/xrdp-xinitrc

I use Salix MATE. So how should I modify the file? I see SESSION variable containing names like "gnome-session", I change it to "mate-session", then I restart xrdp service. Message appeared in Windows remote desktop dialog then is:

Code: Select all

connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350
sesman connect ok
sending login info to session manager, please wait...

And nothing happens.

So how should I modify the file?

Probably as you have already done.

My suggestion was only an example of what is required. Did you follow all the instructions in the README?

Another example - have you installed Xvnc stuff?

Have you considered trying another remote desktop application? There are some available via Gslapt that might give you a better out-of-the box experience.

x11vnc and libvncserver are installed, but still doesn't work. Below is my /etc/xrdp/xrdp-xinitrc:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# change the order in line below to run to run whatever window manager you
# want, default to kde

SESSIONS="mate-session blackbox fluxbox startxfce4 startkde xterm"

#start the window manager
wm_start()
{
  for WindowManager in $SESSIONS
  do
    which $WindowManager
    if test $? -eq 0
    then
      echo "Starting $WindowManager"
      $WindowManager
      return 0
    fi
  done
  return 0
}
