Remote desktop stopped working

Hi all,

Im new to Zorin OS have been using it now for a month or two.
For some reason RDP stopped working.
The builtin remmina application aswell a remote desktop manager my prefered appplication cant establisch any connection anymore.
The connection finds place but when trying to authenticate it fails.
I'm very very sure about my credentials and that those are correct.

Who can help me out here i'm a previous windows user

It case it is another side effect of Software & Undates introducing the new 6.17 kernel.
Can you Restart and from Grub Menu.
There select "Additional Options for Zorin".
Then, choose a 6.14 kernel generic item (i.e. previous kernel version) to boot.
Try booting and test with that kernel.

It is quick thing to try and rules one thing out that seems to be causing recent user issues.

Will try and let you know thank you

Probly im doing something wrong but i cant see any way to boot from another kernel

If the grub menu isn't displayed at boot press continuosly esc key (or left shift key when you have a legacy BIOS) during booting, then it appears.

Hey thnx oke so i got the command line how do I boot then in the older kernel?.
I understand that my questions are noobish but gotta start somewhere

Have you set the password for RDP again?
In its default settings, it is generated new after each reboot.

Soo I had to hit the Shift key :slight_smile: booted in the older kernel however it did not work :frowning: also tried a few repair options but nothing helped.
For me its crusial for my work to have this working.

Btw its me trying to connect to RDP session not trying to RDP to this machien

If the target is Linux, retry to connect and check the logs afterwards on the target machine:

sudo journalctl -u xrdp -e
sudo journalctl -u xrdp-sesman -e

Target is windows server

So I also have a notebook, same setup as my desktop pc, I use this for work daily and only a few days ago RDP connections worked just fine and now its broke and apparatnly also on both kernels. I really dont understand what is going on

I logged on to our datacenter kvm software and made sure I can actually login with the same credentials. I'm starting to assume i'm not the only one with this issue.

Installed Linux Mint same issue after latest updates unfortunatly I did not check before the updates. Reinstalling zorin OS now to check on which update it goes wrong

Quick update: after a fresh install of Zorin OS without any updates with the latest download of the zorin OS website the RDP works.
Now to test what happens when i do the updates 1 by 1

So the issue seems to have something to do with remote desktop manager i tried using remmina after fresh install and it worked, when using Remote desktop manager it didnt. Wierd however that before remmina didnt work either

Update: Installed Remote desktop Manager outside flatpak and worked again like a charm.

Since your re-installation of ZorinOS, I wonder which kernel you now have. Can you run:

uname -r

and tell us.

6.17.0-14

If you restart, then from grub menu, select "Advanced Options for Zorin", do you see a 6.14... kernel-generic listed?
If true, try booting with that kernel to see if it helps.
(a lot of regression issues have surfaced with the update to 6.17 kernel, so worth a test)

Thnx for all the help however the only issue i had has been resolved
