xrdp version

xrdp-0.10.1-1

Detailed xrdp version, build options

I have installed xrdp-0.10.1-1 version on Rocky Linux 9.
When trying to connect using Windows RDP to the Linux machine, after successful login, the client application just terminates.
I see below in logs, however not able to understand a lot.

Most likely thing is this:-

https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/wiki/Tips-and-FAQ#why-cant-i-log-the-same-user-on-on-the-graphical-console-and-over-xrdp-at-the-same-time

Try adding a separate user for xrdp use, and see if this fixes your problem.

If that fails, please post the relevant section of xrdp-sesman.log from a failed attempt.
