Remote desktop in 22.04 from Win 10: Authentication error

Question

I mean to connect Remote Desktop from Win 10 to a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04. I can ssh.

If I am not logged into the console, I get the error

Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network
Ensure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.

If I am not logged into the console, I get the error (my translation from the Spanish message)

Authentication error
There are more data available
Remote computer: <IP of remote>

How can I solve this?

did you install xrdp in Ubuntu? did you start and enable xrdp service? did you open port 3389 in the Ubuntu firewall? did you log out of Ubuntu before trying to access the PC remotely? — Esther, Jul 14 '22 at 20:11

Solved. I had done this many times before prior to 22.04. But needing a quick setup I was guided by https://linuxhint.com/enable-remote-desktop-ubuntu-access-from-windows, and I thought for whatever reason xrdp and the rest was ready without need for me doing anything. — sancho.s ReinstateMonicaCellio, Jul 15 '22 at 14:03

remote setup commands

sudo apt install xrdp
sudo systemctl status xrdp
sudo systemctl start xrdp
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo ufw allow from any to any port 3389 proto tcp
ip a => [192.168.x.x from your local network]
RDP from Win10 [ make sure log off from Ubuntu or use another use name] It should work..
