xrdp no longer works after update

Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:32 pm

Ok, started with my working version of Raspbian (10/28/2012) and did an "apt-get update". After that finished I did a reboot, then did an "sudo apt-get install xrdp". The install went fine and I was able to remote desktop into the Pi. Did a Pi reboot and the xrdp sesman shows that it is running but I now get a "problem connecting" when I try to remote in from my Windows machine. I had xrdp working consistently on the same image without the update but wanted to go back and do the update on a previous image that did not have xrdp installed. I can still SSH into the Pi with no problem. The only difference I now see in the boot process is that the xrdp start comes before the SSH start. Given that xrdp tries to use port 3350 and my SSH is on a different port (same IP address, of course) I'm wondering if the SSH port is overwriting the xrdp port.

Ok, no answers so I decided to try tasks in a different order. Went back to my working image (based on 10/28/2012 Raspbian), then installed xrdp, then did the update command. That ordering worked. I can now do both remote desktop and SSH from my Windows PC. All I can think is that doing xrdp after doing the update gets something incorrect.
