I have tried instructions for xrdp and tigervnc and neither have worked. Either I get a black screen and then a disconnect (xrdp) or I receive "some error" or no connection (tigervnc).

Example instructions for xrdp: https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-remote-desktop-access-from-windows-10

Example instructions that do work with xfce and SSH tunnel: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-20-04/ https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-20-04

What I'm asking is whether the Budgie desktop can be remoted w/o using xfce?

Edit: Yes, following the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54488208/how-to-remote-connect-from-windows-10-to-ubuntu-budgie-18-04-using-default-deskt

I came across this while looking for a solution to the instant black screen and session end. I ended up commenting out the last two lines of the file:

/etc/xrdp/startwm.sh

Then adding "budgie-desktop" to look like the below:

#test -x /etc/X11/Xsession && exec /etc/X11/Xsession
#exec /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession
budgie-desktop

After doing this I was able to connect with Window RDP. Hope this helps someone later.
