Issue with RDP to a locally active session on Display(0) #3471

I'm afraid it doesn't (and can't) work like that. The xrdp session is entirely separate from the desktop session. More information here Some desktops have a built-in RDP client (e.g. GRD on GNOME). From your description it seems this would be a better fit for your requirements. xrdp is intended as a terminal server, not as a remote gateway to a local desktop. I hope that's useful. Let me know if I've misunderstood where you're coming from. |

I need to be able to continue working on my Ubuntu 22 machine both remotely and directly, without closing my running applications and logging out.
I've installed xrdp and I need to use RDP over port 3389, not VNC.
When I log in locally on my Ubuntu desktop and I see the GUI on the monitor that is physically connected to the PC, both app1 and app2 are running. However, when I try to connect to the same Ubuntu system using an RDP client, the initial xrdp screen appears, but after entering my username and password, the login does not proceed.
If I logout from the locally logged-in session, then I can connect via rdp. But I need to keep app1, app2 running.
Is there a way to resolve this issue without having to log out of the locally active session?
