No Gui Launching. (Manjaro)

[ameeno]

Hello, I have tried to follow the guides on arch wiki/ aur and belive all my xinitrc/xauthorities ect are set up correctly.

after Initial screen (I see a login window for xrdp) I get a black screen then the session disconnects.

Here are the xrdp.log & xrdp-sesman.log (which I cleared before attempting a single connection, to make it easier to debug)

I cant see the issue, can you direct me, please?

To break down the issue,

1. make sure xterm installed
2. create startwm.sh in hour home directory with following content (also make sure to add exec permission)

#!/bin/sh
xterm

3. connect & login via xrdp and observe what happens

[ameeno]

When I Log in using xrdp while following your instructions, I successfully login and see an xterm session.

I have tried to move my .xinitrc to start.wm, but not able to launch a session.

After every login with gnome-session (even after setting backend to X11) i get "Oh No, Something went wrong screen"

[metalefty]

Then at least xrdp successfully launched your desktop environment but something went wront after launch.

Also "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." happens other than xrdp for example VNC. Google it and you will find how to solve it.

[ameeno]

thanks. I switched to Ubuntu. it was as simple as installing xrdp and setting up startwm.sh with the session name.

I am not sure what manjaro does in the background. but it just was not launching the wm properly.

May be will be helpful for somebody.
I use manjaro and to fix such problem used to remove --exit-with-session option from dubs-launch.
By the way, I can not understand why this takes the effect.

I found a solution.

Hack to solve the problem: https://github.com/matt335672/pam_close_systemd_system_dbus

• clone the repo
• run sudo make install
• modify /etc/pam.d/xrdp-sesman (see README)

Alternatively remove pam_systemd_home.so entries from /etc/pam.d/system-auth.
The hack is then not necessary.

Explanation: #1684

Of course also these things are required:

• create /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config with content allowed_users=anybody
• install xorgxrdp (not only xrdp)

Confirmed @txhx38's workaround works for me.
