I am connecting to an Ubuntu 18.04LTS server in Azure, from Win 10, with xrdp.

When connecting, I see a few options for the session, including Xorg, X11rdp, Xvnc, console, vnc-any, sesman-any, neutrinord-any.

How can I get a gnome session?

Given that in /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini it likely needs lib=libvnc.so, do I have to start some type of VNC server? (vino, vncserver, etc.)

I followed this, but I do not see the gnome-styled Authentication Required popup shown there.

EDIT I have added this to /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini (hinted at here, page in Spanish, which shows a screen capture with a session type in xrdp named sesman-Xvnc).

[sesman-gnome]
name=sesman-gnome
lib=libvnc.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=-1
code=0
