I too have xrdp issues with Model B+ and 2. Using dist-upgrade preserved xrdp but made it very slow to respond. Using the current Stretch image with a fresh install, xrdp will not install.

With Jessie my approach was as follows (no logical reason except that it worked!):
• Remove the packages:
sudo apt-get remove vnc4server tightvncserver realvnc-vnc-server
• Reboot
sudo reboot
• Reinstall tightvncserver
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
• Install xrdp
sudo apt-get install xrdp

The same steps are invalid for the most part under Stretch with the xrdp install (last step) not completing and "bricking" the board. My initial reaction was the memory cards (or their respective holders) were at fault but I have eliminated this cause through trial and error exercises with a variety of cards.

Can anyone confirm that XRDP is a lost cause given that Stretch comes with an alternate app for remote desktop access? Thanks.

You need to purge all of RealVNC Server and Client, not just remove, purge will remove configuration files ......

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge realvnc*
