XRDP - connection to one session (several users)

I am trying to configure an rdp server, but I have some problems with the sessions. Basically, the user should connect to the same (existing) session, but I cannot find a solution with multiple users.

I tried setting the xrdp port to a specific number, but the problem was that every user connected to the same session. Of course, user1 should not connect to user2. Setting the port to "ask-1" in xrdp.ini is going in the right direction, but this cannot be a solution because I cannot expect the user to save the port number. Only basic skilled people should use the server.

Also, I tried using tightvnc, but I got the same results.

I hope someone can help me and solve my first question :)

I would like to copy the instructions from the nm general article here.

  • echo mate-session > ~/.xsession
    • We can also use other sessions. For example, "xfce4-session".
    • Each user has his own .xsession file.
  • sudo service xrdp restart

The problem arises due to the use of dependencies using xrdp, you must remove vnc4server .

Then install tightvncserver instead .

Next, install xrdp .

Xrdp should now use tightvncserver, so each user can automatically connect to their session.
