so what i am looking to do is have one ubuntu server then using xrdp connect multiple users to that one server with there own desktop. I have got it so i can connect via my ubuntu PC via RDP to the server but what i really need is the person to load there PC then it boots up with a login box, they login and that logins them into the server, so no desktop GUI on there PC just a simple login if this makes sense. I have searched high and low but cannot find anything to help me achieve this :(

Solved so first login set your self to auto login and load up your server with remmina next quoteing
" Remmina Startup Program Organic Marble
Assuming you have connected to the remote system before, there will be a config file for this connection in ~/.remmina/. The config file will be of the form [numeric string].remmina. If you have several files, I know of no easy way to find the one you want from looking at the file names. However, you can open the files with a text editor until you find the one you want.
Once you know which config file to use [desired-config-file].remmina, the terminal command line to start remmina in that config file is remmina -c [desired-config-file].remmina.
You can simply add this command line to Startup Applications in Ubuntu.
As a commenter said, you don't want this command line to execute until your desktop has started. You may have to add a wait command to achieve that; unfortunately I don't remember how to do that. "
Once you have done that download remmina-plugin-kiosk https://installati.one/ubuntu/22.04/remmina-plugin-kiosk/
When logging in change your GUI to remmina kiosk and bam it now take you to your server login every time :D
