Public bug reported: This concerns xrdp 0.9.17-2ubuntu2 in Ubuntu jammy.
I want to have xrdp listen on a localhost port. When I configure the server to use [Globals] ... port=tcp://.:3389 in /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini, and I attempt to start the server, I get an error: # /etc/init.d/xrdp start Starting xrdp (via systemctl): xrdp.serviceJob for xrdp.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status xrdp.service" and "journalctl -xeu xrdp.service" for details. failed! In /var/log/xrdp.log, I see [20220323-05:02:00] [INFO ] address [127.0.0.1] port [3389] mode 4 [20220323-05:02:00] [INFO ] listening to port 3389 on 127.0.0.1 [20220323-05:02:00] [ERROR] trans_listen_address failed [20220323-05:02:00] [ERROR] Failed to start xrdp daemon, possibly address already in use. The port is free. Nothing is using it: $ telnet localhost 3389 Trying ::1... Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I tried building the latest upstream release of xrdp (v0.9.19 as of this writing) with the same build configuration as the Ubuntu package. It starts without error. Please update the package to v0.9.19. ** Affects: xrdp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to xrdp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966048 Title: xrdp fails to bind to localhost To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xrdp/+bug/1966048/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
