Blank desktop when logging in via xrdp
I am trying to access Ubuntu 11.10 using Remote Desktop from a Win 7 machine. I installed xrdp. I launch the Windows remote desktop client and login in. I then get prompted for the user name and password.
It then logs in, but all I see is the background, no menus, nothing. I have to kill remote desktop by closing it.
Even if I right click , nothing. Any ideas???
The only reason I even went down the RDP road was that VNC would not work either, even after I enabled desktop sharing. I am in a bind as I need to connect to Ubuntu via Windows. In version 8 Ubuntu this was not an issue and it just worked.

When you say VNC wouldn't work, did it login ok but had the same desktop background-only problem, or could you not get it to connect at all?

I re-booted Ubuntu and now the VNC can connect but it is so slow it is not useable. I never had this problem with Ubuntu 8. Is this a bug in 11.10? When I log into Ubuntu with RDP what happens is that the screen re-sizes and you cannot access the menu bar along the top or the toolbar on the left. Also when logged in via rdf you cannot even right click on the desktop. It is weird, you can see the menu on the top show then rdp does something to re-size and it is gone. I have tried several rdp client like terminals, mRemote and MS remote desktop.

Yes, I have also tried to log in with a XP system and I get the exact same problem. All I see is a desktop image and no menus at all. I can log in but I ant do anything, no icons, no menus, no nothing. Even the items on my desktop are not there. Now if I use VNC I can see everything but the performance is so bad it is unsealable.

You might still have another desktop manager in your .xsession config.
cd /home/youruser
echo "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d" > .xsession
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart
I've had a similar issue and this solved it.

You can add the 2nd line (echo...) in/etc/xrdp/startwm.shbefore calling. /etc/X11/Xsessionand it will work even if the.xsessionfile is modified by something else.

This didn't work for me either, but what I would stress is to read the /var/log/xrdp/xrdp-sesman.log file and look for errors. This lead me to find my solution to this problem: github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/764#issuecomment-304576785

This worked for me BUT I also had to do the fix down below by adding a` in front of my username when logging it. It wasn't immediately obvious that this fixed my issue because before I used` in front of my username windows had saved the incorrect login with the windows domain added in front of the username. So it's a two part fix.

Try this. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
echo “gnome-session -–session=gnome-fallback” > ~/.xsession
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart

If I understood you correctly, you have Win 7 machine (rdp client) and ubuntu 11.10 (rdp server).
If you have unity 3d enabled in ubuntu, that will cause problems. Use gnome session fallback:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
(you have to log out and select "gnome classic no effects")
..or xubuntu (xfce) :
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
..or lubuntu (lxde):
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
Also, try using rdesktop from command line. Looks like xrdp and other rdp gui programs don't support rdesktop's full capabilities, so it's best to use the command line directly.
rdesktop -h

Dec 31 '11 at 1:05
that's a very good question.. I mixed up my answer with ubuntu-to-windows rdp connection. Sorry. Still, you can do it with cygwin, but the gui rdesktop client in windows works as expected :) Try thegnome-session-fallback, maybe you will have better results

Add a backslash in front of your login, like: yourlogin
This made it work for me. It removes the domain from your credential.

Try Bitvise Tunnelier. It runs like a champ for terminal, FTP and RDP from Windows.

Bitvise is a bit buggy and will disconnect your sessions randomly. Better try Putty which is reliable and stable.

I would try using the vnc sharing built into Ubuntu. I think you will find this more reliable and less buggy. This guide will show you how to setup VNC sharing on Ubuntu and explain some port forwarding techinques.

This is more of a workaround, but if you get a blank desktop, then there might be a question on the remote Ubuntu computer asking whether to refuse or allow. Just click the allow button from the alert.

Try a different desktop manager. While using lightdm I was getting a blank/black screen via XRDP. Once I switched to lxdm everything worked as expected.

A limitation of the xrdp is that you can only login to desktop:0
I was logged in on the target machine as well as trying to connect. Once I logged out of the server I was able to login.

See here, it's the best solution until now for Ubuntu 13.10. Scroll down see brian mullan's coments.
I installed x2go and works like a charm on KDE Ubuntu 13.10

This didn't work for me either, but what I would stress is to read the /var/log/xrdp/xrdp-sesman.log file and look for errors. This lead me to find my solution to this problem: github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/764#issuecomment-304576785

This worked for me BUT I also had to do the fix down below by adding a` in front of my username when logging it. It wasn't immediately obvious that this fixed my issue because before I used` in front of my username windows had saved the incorrect login with the windows domain added in front of the username. So it's a two part fix.

For future readers of this post (I found this post top of my Google search when I had the same problem), xrdp no longer seems to work with Ubuntu-2d in Ubuntu 14.04. Instead you must install xfce
sudo apt-get install xfce4
Then add the line
xfce4-session
to your ~/.xsession file instead of the gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d line

Try this. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
echo “gnome-session -–session=gnome-fallback” > ~/.xsession
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart

If I understood you correctly, you have Win 7 machine (rdp client) and ubuntu 11.10 (rdp server).
If you have unity 3d enabled in ubuntu, that will cause problems. Use gnome session fallback:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
(you have to log out and select "gnome classic no effects")
..or xubuntu (xfce) :
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
..or lubuntu (lxde):
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
Also, try using rdesktop from command line. Looks like xrdp and other rdp gui programs don't support rdesktop's full capabilities, so it's best to use the command line directly.

Add a backslash in front of your login, like: yourlogin
This made it work for me. It removes the domain from your credential.

Bitvise is a bit buggy and will disconnect your sessions randomly. Better try Putty which is reliable and stable.

I would try using the vnc sharing built into Ubuntu. I think you will find this more reliable and less buggy. This guide will show you how to setup VNC sharing on Ubuntu and explain some port forwarding techinques.

This is more of a workaround, but if you get a blank desktop, then there might be a question on the remote Ubuntu computer asking whether to refuse or allow. Just click the allow button from the alert.

This is more of a workaround, but if you get a blank desktop, then there might be a question on the remote Ubuntu computer asking whether to refuse or allow. Just click the allow button from the alert.

Try a different desktop manager. While using lightdm I was getting a blank/black screen via XRDP. Once I switched to lxdm everything worked as expected.

A limitation of the xrdp is that you can only login to desktop:0
I was logged in on the target machine as well as trying to connect. Once I logged out of the server I was able to login.

See here, it's the best solution until now for Ubuntu 13.10. Scroll down see brian mullan's coments.
I installed x2go and works like a charm on KDE Ubuntu 13.10
No more xrdp.

When you say VNC wouldn't work, did it login ok but had the same desktop background-only problem, or could you not get it to connect at all?

can you confirm you tried the trick in this answer? askubuntu.com/a/3936/14356

I re-booted Ubuntu and now the VNC can connect but it is so slow it is not useable. I never had this problem with Ubuntu 8. Is this a bug in 11.10? When I log into Ubuntu with RDP what happens is that the screen re-sizes and you cannot access the menu bar along the top or the toolbar on the left. Also when logged in via rdf you cannot even right click on the desktop. It is weird, you can see the menu on the top show then rdp does something to re-size and it is gone. I have tried several rdp client like terminals, mRemote and MS remote desktop.

Yes, I have also tried to log in with a XP system and I get the exact same problem. All I see is a desktop image and no menus at all. I can log in but I ant do anything, no icons, no menus, no nothing. Even the items on my desktop are not there. Now if I use VNC I can see everything but the performance is so bad it is unsealable.
