My host is an Ubuntu 22.04.1 machine on Oracle server, my client is an Ubuntu 20.04.5. The connection was established via xrdp 0.9.17 using Xorg with no issue. Following this guide, I tried to give admin permissions to the single user I have on my host. In particular, I set a password for that user and created the file

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/46-user-admin.pkla

with the following content:

[Authorize admin control of user settings]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.accounts.*;org.gnome.controlcenter.user-accounts.*
ResultActive=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultAny=yes

and rebooted. After this and a successful log in with xrdp, I get a black screen. Trying to log in with a wrong user or a misspelled password, I get an error as expected, but with the right credentials there is a plain black screen. SSH connection is working just fine.

I tried to remove completely xrdp (usual purge and manual erase of few folders), reinstall it, reconfiguring it (changing port protocol to tcp). At first the status of the xrdp service is OK, but after a failed login attempt I get:

me@me:~$ sudo service xrdp status

and looking at the Xorg sessions, there are so many entries:

me@me:~$ xauth list
me/unix:11  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  xxx
me/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  yyy
me/unix:12  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  zzz
me/unix:13  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  www
me/unix:14  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  uuu

I tried to dig a bit more for the error trans_write_copy_s failed, but I think there is something wrong with my user.

I would appreciate any input from you. Thank you.
