Package: xrdp
Version: 0.10.5-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I'm testing the package that is currently in EXPERIMENTAL.
Trying to connect with remmina, it fails, the last line of log is:
```
Can't create session for user foobar - X server could not be started
```
Looking at the systemd logs is a bit more informative:
```
[INFO ] Starting X server on display 10: Xorg :10 -auth .Xauthority -config
xrdp/xorg.conf -noreset -nolisten tcp -logfile .xorgxrdp.%s.log
usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
```
Which lead me to a comment from the upstream maintainers at
https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/3661#issuecomment-3485338843
> You need to edit /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini and change the line
> param=/usr/bin/Xorg
Indeed, and this is the patch debian/patches/config.diff, which needs to
be applied. After applying it, I can connect.
I noticed that all the patches in debian/patches/series were commented
out, so you're probably aware of the issue?
Feel free to close this bug report if it's not relevant or if it doesn't
help.
Best,
Arnaud
