Hi Terry, > I fixed my problem by completely removing xrdp from the Pi (including > a purge) and re-installing it.
That seems to match http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314336 and the bugs it links to. Something about whether xrdp pulls in vnc4server, bad, or tightvncserver, good. There should also be /var/log/sesman.* or similar that would hopefully give more details than that dreary `error - problem connecting' in the GUI. WRT xrdp's and sesman's status, if you find a process ID then you can list what IPv4 interfaces and sockets they are listening on, e.g. perhaps it's only loopback. Here's an example with part of Postfix, showing it listening for incoming SMTP connections only on the loopback interface. $ sudo lsof -a -p `pidof master` -i 4 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME master 1304 root 12u IPv4 8665 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:smtp (LISTEN) $ Not the problem this time as a re-install wouldn't have helped. The purge removed /etc configuration files; perhaps there was something there amiss.
