MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOGGED OUT OF THE SERVER TO TEST RDP. NOW RDP TO THE SERVER.<\/p>\n
Try to RDP to the server. For Debian 11, The XRDP package results in an error.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The problem seems to happens only with Gnome Desktop. Based the the bug\/issue reported to the team behind xrdp software (see https:\/\/github.com\/neutrinolabs\/xorgxrdp\/issues\/156), the problem is only present when using the xorgxrdp package version 0.2.12. this is a known issue with version xorgxrdp-0.2.12.
\nThe proposed solution is to upgrade to a previous versions xrdp 0.9.15-1 and xorgxrdp 1:0.2.15-1.<\/p>\n
These versions are still compatible with libc6 on Debian Bullseye. This is important to note, because I initially tried newer versions of xorgxrdp and xrdp and one of them required a newer version of libc6.<\/p>\n
Until a backport is available (mailing list to ask for a backport to bullseye-backports can be found here: https:\/\/lists.debian.org\/debian-backports\/) you can download xrdp 0.9.15-1 and xorgxrdp 1:0.2.15-1 via https:\/\/snapshot.debian.org\/
\nThose package versions were still compatible with libc6 from bullseye.<\/p>\n
\n# wget https:\/\/snapshot.debian.org\/archive\/debian\/20210302T032219Z\/pool\/main\/x\/xorgxrdp\/xorgxrdp_0.2.15-1_amd64.deb\n# wget https:\/\/snapshot.debian.org\/archive\/debian\/20210302T032219Z\/pool\/main\/x\/xrdp\/xrdp_0.9.15-1_amd64.deb\n<\/pre>\n
\n# sudo apt install .\/xorgxrdp_0.2.15-1_amd64.deb\n# sudo apt install .\/xrdp_0.9.15-1_amd64.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now, RDP should work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
