I have a SLES11 SP4 machine available with me. I have installed xrdp using zypper. The command I used to install was zypper in xrdp and followed on-console messages.

xrdp installed successfully. But when I tried to connect from Windows 7 machine it said the machine is not up. I tried to start xrdp by typing command xrdp, it started and said xrdp started and gave a pid. Now connecting through windows was leading to login. I entered the credentials and it went into forever connecting mode.

Tried stopping xrdp by xrdp -kill and restarting again. But doesn't work.

I did a fair amount of research regarding this issue. I could find that just executing command xrdp doesn't work. The xrdp should be started with the system's own service startup mechanism.

For ex.

in SLES11 machines, use command /etc/init.d/xrdp start in SLES12 machines, use command systemctl start xrdp

Similarly use the native system service management to startup and shutdown xrdp. Since my machine is SLES11 I used the above command and it worked.

Before executing that, we have to kill all the xrdp processes, restart the machine and start the xrdp using above commands.
