Dear,
I installed Xrdp on my ZorinOS Core and I'm managing to access it normally via RDP(mstsc) from Windows. However, I can't make changes like turning off and on Wifi, changing Zorin Appearance among other settings, which I can only do by accessing the PC in person.
Is there any configuration that you can change in order to be able to make any and all changes even when accessing via Xrdp?
Thank you very much in advance!
You may be looking for a way of using an existing session:

When launching GNOME 3 (including Classic) in TurboVNC or resizing the remote de… sktop under GNOME 3, a dialog pops up ("Authentication is required to create a color managed device"), and it cannot be dismissed without authenticating using the root password. This seems to be a problem endemic to all X proxies running on recent Linux distros that use GNOME 3 (yet another reason to use MATE instead, at least with TurboVNC.)
Refer to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149893
for further information, as well as a workaround.
Filing this issue to track it.
I've personally verified that the issue exists with TurboVNC 2.1 beta and TigerVNC 1.6 (both the "el5" flavor, which is based on the same X.org 7.7/xorg-xserver 1.12 code as TurboVNC, and the "el6" flavor, which is based on xorg-xserver 1.15.) Verified that the workaround listed at the above link solves the problem, but since that workaround requires specifying a group to which to grant colord permissions, it isn't exactly a generic solution.
This issue is known to exist in current versions of RHEL 7, SLES 12, Fedora 22, and Fedora 24 as of this writing. On Fedora 24, an additional dialog pops up ("Authentication is required to access to PC/SC daemon.") Refer to #52 for the workaround to that issue.
Hi @Aravisian !
Thanks for the feedback and sending the links.
In fact, I wouldn't intend to change the DE, I would use the ZorinOS default, I would just like to have the same privileges through Xrdp as I have when I'm using the system locally. It's possible?
The link is not offering to change the D.E., but to allow the user to remotely connect to that D.E.'s session .
