I have opensuse 11.1 and I installed xrdp from the repository so I can connect to my machine from my windows laptop. I can connect but I get the following errors in the connection log window:

rdpx11 channel not present
Screen depth is not 24

It stops there and I am not presented with the desktop. I have checked the bit depth and it is 24bit. I dont know about the first error but I have a feeling this problem may be caused because I run dual monitors? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Update:

The screen depth thing is a setting in the windows rdp display box, not something on the linux box.

After changing that, I was able to login using ICEwm session. That worked fine. I then tried using the KDE4 login session and was presented with 3 errors.

1-dcopserver not running
2-knotifyrc not writable
3-.ICEauthority not writable

After changing permissions on #2 and #3 I was able to log into my linux box using KDE4.

sweet!!!!

I hope this helps someone else. I read threads where changing the /etc/pam.d/xrdp-sessman helped. But in my case, that did not work.
