Debian:

Make sure you do not have any other VNC servers installed like vnc4server or tightvncserver.

Code:

sudo apt remove xrdp vnc4server tightvncserver

Install xrdp and tigervnc server

Code:

sudo apt install -y xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server

Swap places Xorg with Xvnc so Xvnc goes first.

Code:

sudo nano /etc/xdrp/xdrp.ini

Connect via Xvnc (first in the client list) with native Windows Remote Desktop client.



Ubuntu (the same setup as Raspberry PI):

Remove other VNC servers

Code:

sudo apt-get remove xrdp vnc4server tightvncserver

Install tightvncserver and xrdp

Code:

sudo apt install -y tightvncserver xrdp

Connect via Xorg (first in the client list) with native Windows Remote Desktop client.
