Same problem...upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 and now cannot remote access the server....
Failed to load session "gnome" I only installed the XFCE desktop prior to upgrade ...so maybe this is related. Have tried install gnome and re-installing XFCE...stillno joy. Here are various log file outputs....the last one agrees with same error as this buig report... root@vrbs4:/var/log# tail -f /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log [20121108-10:29:05] [INFO ] scp thread on sck 7 started successfully [20121108-10:29:06] [INFO ] granted TS access to user msrbadmin [20121108-10:29:06] [INFO ] starting Xvnc session...
