Install https://www.realvnc.com/download/vnc/windows/ on the Windows side. (Use the supplied client SW) Install tigervnc-server on fedora. From there you can either decide if you want to have a user invoke the server from say a terminal or ssh session or to make it a system service by following the directions in /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service. Other documentation exists online like https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-TigerVNC.html >>> after the connection with mstsc, I get a window where I can select >>> between Xvnc and Xorg, when selecting Xvnc and entering userid and >>> password >>> the window is closed and session blown away ... >>> when I select Xorg and enter userid and password the window stays >>> 'green' forever >> I would not bother with trying to get Xorg to work with xrdp.

I did things slightly different than what was called out in the link you initially supplied. The steps taken were... dnf -y install xrdp firewall-cmd --add-port=3389/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload systemctl enable xrdp systemctl start xrdp I don't like to start a service without the proper firewall rules in place first. FWIW, have you tried stopping/starting xrdp? Also, in reading some posts found by searching about your issue I see that some people had to try connecting twice before they a working connection. You may also want to check to see if you have any errors reported in you ~/.vnc directory. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
