The issue of XRDP crashing on Ubuntu may be caused by the following reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. XRDP version incompatible: Make sure you are using an XRDP version that is compatible with your Ubuntu version. You can try updating XRDP to the latest version, or use a stable version that matches your Ubuntu version.<\/li>\n
  2. Dependency Issues: Make sure all dependencies required for XRDP are installed in the system. Running the following command can install the necessary dependencies:<\/li>\n
  3. Update the system using the command “sudo apt update” and then install xrdp using “sudo apt install xrdp”.<\/li>\n
  4. Xorg configuration issue: Sometimes, XRDP requires specific Xorg configurations to function properly. You can attempt to reconfigure Xorg by following these steps:<\/li>\n
  5. Navigate to the Xorg configuration file directory:
    \ncd \/etc\/X11\/<\/li>\n
  6. Make a backup of the original Xorg configuration file (optional):
    \nsudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak<\/li>\n
  7. Create a new Xorg configuration file:
    \nsudo X -configure<\/li>\n
  8. Copy the new Xorg configuration file to the correct location by using the following command:
    \nsudo cp xorg.conf.new \/etc\/X11\/xorg.conf<\/li>\n
  9. Firewall settings: Make sure the firewall allows XRDP traffic to pass through. You can try disabling the firewall and testing if XRDP works again. If XRDP is working properly, then configure the firewall to allow XRDP traffic.<\/li>\n
  10. Disable the firewall (for testing purposes only, not recommended to be disabled long-term):
    \nsudo ufw disable<\/li>\n
  11. Set up the firewall to allow XRDP traffic (adjust as needed):
    \nsudo ufw allow 3389\/tcp<\/li>\n
  12. Enable the firewall:
    \nsudo ufw enable<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The above are some common solutions. If the issue persists, it is recommended to check the system log for more detailed error information and seek help through Google or the Ubuntu community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
