Hi,

I’ve installed xrdp on Devuan(debian with sysvinit)

when I connect from other machine (linux, windows) with rdp, I get a fresh new desktop (even the wallpaper is the default one) and none of the opened windows on the server (same account) is displayed on the remote client.

Is it the nature of the rdp protocol or is it possible to reconnect to the same xfce session ?

Thanks.

    You’re getting another X11 session instead of the console session.

    IIRC, you can set up X11vnc on the system and connect it to the :0 display, then direct xrdp to use x11vnc as the backend. Then when you connect, it grabs that vnc session and translates it to rdp protocol. I’m not sure if that’s still viable.
