    0•2 months ago

    Thanks @testman@lemmy.ml

    StackOverflow says that it can be done by editing xrdp.ini

    This post date from 2013 O_o

    default **/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini** in my version 
    [Xorg]
name=Xorg
lib=libxup.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=-1
code=20

[Xvnc]
name=Xvnc
lib=libvnc.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=-1

[vnc-any]
name=vnc-any
lib=libvnc.so
ip=ask
port=ask5900
username=na
password=ask

[neutrinordp-any]
name=neutrinordp-any
lib=libxrdpneutrinordp.so
ip=ask
port=ask3389
username=ask
password=ask

    so I don’t have [xrdp1]

       

    To summarize:

    Edit the xrdp.ini file set port = ask connect from the remote machine, and at login if you have no existing session, specify port -1 to resume a session enter the default of 5910

    I believe this i working if the previous session was already made remotely… ?otherwise how I get the port of the local X session ?

       

    Is there a specific reason for choosing RDP?\

    rdp is usefull if you have windows client client, but that it’s.

       

    And RustDesk is also a good, more advanced alternative.

    great piece of software, but too heavy in my case, I want something simple, that just do one thing good. I don’t need
