Could you please make arch-config.diff change param=Xorg to param=/usr/lib/Xorg in xrdp-0.9.23.1/sesman/sesman.ini? As mentioned in previous comments, without that change you just get a blank green screen after logging in. The ini file even has a comment that says that param=/usr/lib/Xorg is the correct setting for Arch, so ideally it should be set automatically when the package is installed.

@Abzie could you please add ˋ/etc/pam.d/xrdp-sesmanˋ to the ˋbackupˋ array. This file is currently overwritten on each update. Thank you :)

@bradsk88 - you should run pacman -S base-devel as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started

@unruh - I shall add this now and push the changes through shortly.

Should autoconf, automake, and pkg-config be added to the dependencies list?

That would be redundant. All AUR packages require base-devel: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

I was unable to complete the makepkg without them:

The file /etc/xrdp/reconnectwm.sh is overwritten on each update. I recommend to add it to the backup= section of of the PKGBUILD file. (Like startwm.sh already is.)

@Abzie, just closing the rdp window. I know the proper way is to log out, but I'm not sure I can easily expect end users to do this, especially windows users.

The bigger worry I have is that xrdp isn't properly handling closing active sessions when it's restarted via systemd from what I can tell. Not sure if this is specific to the Arch version, but I'm not seeing this issue anywhere else according to Google.

Abzie commented on 2023-07-22 21:15 (UTC)

Generally a black screen indicates you are still "logged in" to your previous session.

How are you disconnecting from the first session?

trainzkid commented on 2023-07-22 20:38 (UTC)

Anyone else run into issues logging back into a previously active xrdp session following a restart of the service?

I had some applications open on my xrdp desktop and then logged out of xrdp, restarted the service, and was unable to log in again: plasma would start to load and then I'd get the generic black screen with xorg's massive black X cursor. All my googling tells me xrdp is supposed to clean up sessions when restarting.

To resolve, I went through all plasma and xorg processes and killed them (many were in a defunct state). Then when I tried to log in via xrdp, plasma started up just fine.

I'm using /usr/lib/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed startplasma-x11 in the .xinitrc if that helps.

As described earlier in comments in Manjaro the /usr/bin/Xorg is a script that decides to use /usr/lib/Xorg or /usr/lib/Xorg.wrapper. But when using /usr/lib/Xorg.wrapper you have to allow anybody to start X (Add allowed_users=anybody to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config). Maybe there are more things to do.

The most easy way is to set param=/usr/lib/Xorg in sesman.ini. This setting will be saved, even with new versions of xrdp, since sesman.ini isn't overwritten by default.

Remember the default configuration is good if you are extendig a simple desktop system with xrdp. But when using a real xrdp server with multiple users and no local desktop its better to create a global xorg.conf https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xrdp?O=60#comment-762246
