    StackOverflow says that it can be done by editing xrdp.ini

    This post date from 2013 O_o

    default /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini in my version
    [Xorg]
    name=Xorg
    lib=libxup.so
    username=ask
    password=ask
    ip=127.0.0.1
    port=-1
    code=20
    
    [Xvnc]
    name=Xvnc
    lib=libvnc.so
    username=ask
    password=ask
    ip=127.0.0.1
    port=-1
    
    [vnc-any]
    name=vnc-any
    lib=libvnc.so
    ip=ask
    port=ask5900
    username=na
    password=ask
    
    [neutrinordp-any]
    name=neutrinordp-any
    lib=libxrdpneutrinordp.so
    ip=ask
    port=ask3389
    username=ask
    password=ask
    

    so I don’t have [xrdp1]

       

    To summarize:

    Edit the xrdp.ini file set port = ask connect from the remote machine, and at login if you have no existing session, specify port -1 to resume a session enter the default of 5910

    I believe this i working if the previous session was already made remotely… ?otherwise how I get the port of the local X session ?

       

    Is there a specific reason for choosing RDP?\

    rdp is usefull if you have windows client client, but that it’s.

       

    And RustDesk is also a good, more advanced alternative.

    great piece of software, but too heavy in my case, I want something simple, that just do one thing good. I don’t need
