This is really annoying me. Initially, this worked. Now it doesn't, and I've not been able to figure out why. While I can log in, etc., I just get a black screen. I've checked that I can actually log in (on the remote machine), but I get nothing in the MRD, which is getting very annoying.

I did even try with KDE, which I got working with VNC. But TBH I don't get on with KDE that much.

I like GNOME, is there anything anyone can suggest?

Additional information:

  1. I did try xrdp.
  2. Should I simply not log on to the remote machine?

In the new Microsoft RDP Client (now called Windows App), you need to change the settings in the RDP file.

Find the line that says: use redirection server name:i:0 Change it to: use redirection server name:i:1 If you can't find the RDP file, you can create a new one:

Right-click on your current connection. Select "Export" to save the file. Open the saved file and make the changes mentioned above. Import the edited file as a new connection.

Seems to be an incompatibility with the 'modern' remote desktop app and windows app

use mstsc.exe if you are on windows, it will work (at least does on my machine)
