Bug#836932: login to blank screen after upgrade to 0.9
Hello,
I really don't know what to tell you, I've no idea where to even start
debugging this ...
Yes, I get an X server process and lots of session related ones --
it's running, just not on my xrdp screen.
No, I hadn't read the new README.Debian, but I can't see how it's
relevant, as I'm using Linux + systemd and standard RDP security.
Current status:
* If the default session is set to xfce, Remmina 1.1.2 (Ubuntu) can
connect and reconnect normally. MATE (which I'd been using and would
like to use again) does not work. If the server machine is
suspended/resumed, xrdp breaks until the next reboot (black screen).
* The Windows 7 built-in client doesn't work at all, teal screen after
login no matter what I do.
* Neither the VNC options nor "console" work at all anymore.
* Going back to 0.6.1 doesn't help.
(And before you ask, I'd rather not have to re-install the whole box.
I'd sooner go back to a fixed number of manually launched VNCs.)
Cheers,
C.
