Xrdp and desktop icons

English Applications
1

Hi to all,
I have the following problem:

  • on Opensuse 15.1 I installed xrdp and connected from a remote client (Windows). I connected without problems and I had my desktop with its icons, folders and so on.
  • on Opensuse 15.5 I installed xrdp and connect from a remote client (Windows) I connect without problems, but my desktop is in a “live” mode, that is I have no icons or folders and I cannot put them on it.
    Also applications are available from menu with a lot of items and it is really nasty.

I tried to modify xrdp configuratione files, but with no results.
Someone can tell me what I have to do to get a “old fashion” desktop?

Thank you
Freya

Did you have a look here in the forum?

Did you check the session entry in you xrdp config?

Indeed my problem is not XFCE vs KDE (I have XFCE in both opesuse versions).
When you say “xrdp config” do you mean xrdp.ini or startwm.sh?
I tried also to copy the 15.1 configuration files in the 15.5, but nothing happened.

At last I solved the problem!!!

I changed /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh adding in function wm_start() the following case:

wm_start()
{
SESSION=“mio”

mio)
  if [ -r /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession ]; then
. /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
xterm
  fi
  ;;

esac
}

and now it works.
I do not understande completely the code, so I am not able to give further information, but, at present, it is enough

Bye
Freya
