I know it's broken.

Big changes are made in upstream day by day until next release.
I suspend chasing upstream until 0.9.1 release.

[coolemza]

ah, may be you temporary solution to get working xrdp? or devel branch of xrdp also broken?

[metalefty]

The devel branch of xrdp is not broken. It builds and works fine. Temporarily, o-Matic doesn't fit current devel branch of xrdp.

Latest version of this script is still broken with latest xrdp, but for now you can force it to use an older xrdp. E.g. in X11rdp-o-matic.sh I changed:

git clone --depth 1 "$XRDPGIT" -b "$XRDPBRANCH" "$WORKINGDIR/xrdp"

To:

git clone "$XRDPGIT" -b "$XRDPBRANCH" "$WORKINGDIR/xrdp"

And added these lines just after:

cd "$WORKINGDIR/xrdp"
git reset --hard c0ac8251f748754b65c81c7bb5245add9ce30bf7

That commit of xrdp is from 2016-06-20 (see neutrinolabs/xrdp@c0ac825 ), and it works for me.

I now have Remote Desktop from Windows to my Mint 17 box (i.e. Ubuntu 14.04) working. So, thanks for this project!

Any update on when the patch files for xrdp will be updated?

Jaza => Thank you very much for the workaround.

With that modifications, build and install went flawlessly on my Mint 17.3 box. I simply could install generated deb packges on another machine without going through another build process.

On Mint 18.1 System, however, build failed. Could finish building by adding "--branch devel" option.
It shows the login screen, no actual x-window shows up however...

If you could make it work on Mint 18, please keep me posted.

Once again, thank you very much.

@sangju41 @Jaza - Did you guys make any progress? I'm on Linux Mint 18.1 and currenly manally installing xrdp and TigerVNC - but looking for a x11rdp solution.

Do you guys have any tips?
