xrdp ubuntu aws missing text

Question

I can connect to my remote desktop (Ubuntu 16.04) in AWS but I cant view the text at all. I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 in Apple's App Store.

So I cant login properly as explained here.

I'm having the same issue with Amazon Lightsail, and Ubuntu 18.04. I am also using the Mac App Store version of the xrdp client. It's a fresh install of both server and client xrdp and is just broken right out of the box. – Doublebank

Same problem with xrdp 0.9.5 when I rdp connect to a physical Ubuntu 18.04 desktop with all updates & upgrades applied. I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.3.9 on macOS 10.15.3 – Heady

Answer 1

This should now be fixed in xrdp v0.9.9 (https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/releases/tag/v0.9.9)

The bug was "Glyph cache v2 (fixes no font issue on iOS/macOS/Android client)"

Will probably need to build it from source - most Ubuntu packages still back on 0.6 or 0.9.5

Thanks! I confirm this works, after building xrdp v0.9.14 and xorgxrdp v0.2.14 on ubuntu 16.04 following github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/wiki/Building-on-Debian-8 – Tanaka
