I have installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 and installed xrdp package on it and set xfce as desktop environment.
When I try to use RDP from Windows I got a login screen with 3 input fields, where session is set to Xorg by default. I typed username and password, but got a blank screen and connection is closed after a few seconds.
If I set X11rdp as session, I get following error message after a few minutes.
I followed this tutorial.
Update : Sept 2019
looks like same issue as 18.04.3 LTS XRDP "login failed for display: 0"
known issue with xRDP and Ubuntu 18.04.2. Performing xrdp installation on ubuntu 18.04.2 does not intall xorgxrdp package because dependencies are not met......
To fix this......
Best option - Install the new xorgxrdp-hwe-18.04 package
Install the new xorgxrdp package by issuing the following command
sudo apt-get install xorgxrdp-hwe-18.04
This should fix your issue
Quick and Dirty fix - Downgrade to xorg-xserver-core packages
We assume that you have already installed xRDP package and you want to fix it
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-input-all
