Hello @MrErr,

We will need more information on how you installed Gnome and xrdp. I suppose that you are following the guide on: https://www.whitewaterfoundry.com/blog/2022/4/16/announcing-built-in-systemd-support-in-fedora-remix-for-wsl

So, please check if you did every step mentioned there. Another cause is that the distributions in WSL2 share the network stack. Be sure you don't have another distro listening to the VNC port.

Regards,
Carlos

Sorry for the delayed reply.
I did follow the steps in the link provided.
There are no other distributions installed.

I noticed that a VNC windows is trying to open on display 10. How does it come up with that display?

Hello @MrErr

Display 10 is the one started by XRDP; it should be fine. Could you send me a screenshot of this VNC Window? Also run the command wsl --list --verbose and send me the result as well

From the above image, it looks like it is using display 12.

Do you know if there are any log files created?
