Thank you for your reply. Indeed i think the documentation needs much improvement.
The reason i tried xrdp was that the "it just needs to be turned on in g-c-c" did not work. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1422263/rdp-on- ubuntu-desktop-22-04 was one of the hint i followed which led into the wrong direction. In the meantime i got things working on 2 of my 4 systems see https://askubuntu.com/a/1438504/129227 and i explicitly mentioned that the links i followed might be misleading (which is part of the problem). I might not be alone in misconfiguring the system due to it not working out of the box so it's probably better to change the status of this bug and do something about it instead of getting more frustrated people out there. Still two of my systems do not work properly and the messages from /var/syslog and other logs IMHO need much improvement in giving hints what to do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to remmina in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1995201 Title: remote desktop screen sharing does not work Status in remmina package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/06/use-ipad-as-second-monitor- ubuntu-22-04 and https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/uz5as7/gnome_has_made_it_super_simple_to_extend_your/ https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/04/ubuntu-22-04-remote- desktop-control/ advertise screen sharing via rdp on Ubuntu 22.04 and I hoped to be able to use it. Unfortunately on multiple machines i was not able to get it working and it seems for various reasons. On the other hand i couldn't find proper bug reports yet. There are quite a few stackexhange questons out there related to 22.04 remote desktop sharing such as * https://askubuntu.com/questions/1407444/ubuntu-22-04-remote-deskop-headless * https://askubuntu.com/questions/1403943/22-04-remote-desktop-sharing-authentication-password-changes-every-reboot * https://askubuntu.com/questions/1406292/remote-desktop-via-vnc-is-black-mouse-keyboard-works * https://askubuntu.com/questions/1404245/remote-desktop-from-windows-onto-ubuntu-22-04-takes-me-to-a-xrdp-login-then-a-bl * https://askubuntu.com/questions/1404245/remote-desktop-from-windows-onto-ubuntu-22-04-takes-me-to-a-xrdp-login-then-a-bl I'd expect that the remote desktop sharing works out of the box and needs no further configuration and fiddling. Especially it should work if already logged in. There seem to be so many parts involved in this that there is IMHO a need to have a look at this from an overarching enduser viewpoint instead of assuming that users have to take a sysadmin course to use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS remote desktop sharing. After all this is version 22 of the system and not trying to implement bug #1 of Ubuntu. Let's start with the machine where i think things are getting close to working and the message in /var/log/syslog is: ``` Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[101542]: [WARN ] Timed out waiting for X server on display 11 to startup Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[101542]: [INFO ] Session started successfully for user wf on display 11 Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[102029]: [INFO ] Starting the xrdp channel server for display 11 Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[101542]: [INFO ] Session in progress on display 11, waiting until the window manager (pid 101543) exits to end the session Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[101543]: [WARN ] Timed out waiting for X server on display 11 to startup Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[101543]: [ERROR] There is no X server active on display 11 Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[101543]: [ERROR] A fatal error has occured attempting to start the window manager on display 11, aborting connection Oct 30 11:02:57 capri xrdp-sesman[101542]: [WARN ] Window manager (pid 101543, display 11) exited quickly (0 secs).
