I use x11vnc and a vnc client to connect to remote Linux desktops from
other Linux computers. I have no problem connecting to display :0. As
such, I can remotely access that desktop and help users with support
and such.
I would like Windows clients to be able to do the same. So I have
installed Xrdp. And I can get a desktop from the Linux computer (Leap
15.3).
There are two problems I do not seem to be able to solve:
1. I can only get icewm. I want KDE. I have tried editing
/etc/xrdp/startwm.sh so that it should start plasma. But it does not
work.
2. I cannot get it to share display:0. In fact, that's what I really
want. It is running the desktop I am really after. I have tried things
like making my own definition in Xrdp that should access display:0,
based on various suggestions. No go.
My question is: has anyone gotten either of these things to work? Or,
should I install a Windows client and access x11vnc? I have been
trying not to need to install software on the Windows clients if at
all possible. But I can if Xrdp won't do as I would like.
