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

    See [this answer for Ubuntu 22.04 remote deskop headless?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1407444/ubuntu-22-04-remote-deskop-headless/1409120#1409120) – user68186 Jul 14 '22 at 21:56
  • 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

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