[Sugar-devel] Using rdesktop in Ubuntu 18.04 Vm

[James Cameron]

Ah, thanks, that's interesting.  We did have Xvnc in earlier
instructions, but it stopped working so we switched to Xrdp.  Now that
Xrdp has stopped working we can either switch back to Xvnc, or find
out what the problem is.

That's why I asked if the problem is unique to Sugar; if the black
screen is Sugar's jarabe.main() hung, only the system process list may
show it.  If Sugar is hung, we might find out why.  If the hang is
before Sugar starts, then it is a problem with Xrdp or the Xsession
default configuration.

If it isn't a problem with Sugar, then it could be raised with Ubuntu
or Debian against Xrdp.
