XRDP 0.6.0 opensuse 11.4


I installed xrdp 0.6.0 following all instructions in the install.txt files but I get this when trying to run the shell script to start it. Any Idea why KDE is giving the diplay error?

$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server.


/etc/xrdp # sh startwm.sh
which: no gnome-session in (/home/user/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin)

To clean this up some I removed the other Window manager statements to make it only call kde.

#SESSIONS="gnome-session blackbox fluxbox startxfce4 startkde xterm"
SESSIONS="startkde"

sh startwm.sh start
/usr/bin/startkde
Starting startkde
$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server.

First just how did you install this software ?
I am seeing this
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xrdp/
but is is version 0.5 "xrdp-0.5.0.tar.gz"


have you looked on the SF mailing list for that project ?
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/...ame=xrdp-devel

but opensuse has a very NICE and already installed VNC , installed by default
open up yast2 and look

also it is time to think about upgrading to 12.1 or very soon 12.2
support for 11.4 will be ending soon , this coming September

I had some proxy issues with 12.1 I fell back to 11.4 and am waiting for 12.2

I download the tar ball from https://github.com/FreeRDP/xrdp

I fixed the problem last night. After rebooting the server I did sudo sh xrdp.sh and this time the xrdp service started and was happy. One of those times when you ask for help then bang you fix it. I am trying to use xrdp because of my employers policy of vnc not being allowed on the windows desktops. They have RDP so that is my only work around. I have it working great from windows 7 but now to figure out why windows 2003 servers connects but the color sucks.
