Arch Linux User Repository

If upgrading from 0.9.x, please read the 'User Changes' section from the release page:https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/releases/tag/v0.10.0

There is one breaking change that require manual intervention but there are three other changes that will continue to work for now.

xRDP states: Users are urged to heed any generated configuration warnings and update their configurations. Later major versions of xrdp may remove these warnings, or introduce other behaviours for the affected parameters.

Xrdp connected with blank screen after update. In to logs writed this:

Where correct this troubles?

Can the maintainer add the configuration files /etc/pam.d/xrdp-sesman and /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh to be backed up when updating the package? The ArchWiki suggests making edits to those files, and it's problematic that they get overwritten when this package is updated.

This is likely not a packaging issue, but just an FYI to other users: as of 0.9.17, logins are failing and I'm seeing these errors:

xrdp-sesman[1170]: pam_systemd(xrdp-sesman:session): Failed to create session: No child processes xrdp-sesman[1165]: [ERROR] sesman_data_in: scp_process_msg failed

Reverting back to 0.9.16 with the same configuration fixes the issue - just wanted to give a heads up.

edit: fixed this by upgrading xorgxrdp to the .17 version (missed upgrading xorgxrdp for an unrelated reason)

It simply hits me with build failure:

vnc.c: In function ‘lib_data_in’:
../common/log.h:144:33: error: ‘response_code’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  144 | #define LOG(log_level, args...) log_message(log_level, args)
      |                                 ^~~~~~~~~~~

thanks for adding it @bidulock!

For those wondering what @luksab's request was, it was to add base-devel to makedepends.

(Don't mean to overstep, sometimes "uninformed requests" serve as learning exercises for others - like me!)
