Hi,

I’m trying, without success so far, to initiate (or reconnect to an existing one) a remote desktop session (xfce here)

I’ve tried rustdesk, but this is sharing desktop[1]

I’ve tried nomachine, but even if it’s look like it can do Remote desktop[2] I see the login screen, and screen of the active user :/ not the one I give crendential for…

Xrdp fail… plain and simple…

Is that possible or am I dreaming ?

Thanks.


  1. an active user (in front of the computer) can share his desktop with someone remotly, both are seeing the same. Generally the all screen is sended to the remote user trough video compress. ↩︎

  2. a remote user can connect this his desktop session held (or not) open on the server. A user sitting in front of the acced computer and the remote user, do not see the same ! like tty ↩︎

    Xrdp won’t work if there is already an active user session locally with the same user account that is trying to connect remotely.
