Hi,
I'm newbe on Linux, so I installed Zorin 12 core for my first attempt. Now I need to remote control my Linux box from Win7. The xrdp is installed on my Linux box. I'm able to 'start' a rdp session from my win7 but after I type my user and password I can see only how the connection log is fill with some text and the connection is close.
I need help !

Hi, Zorin has (or should have) Remmina Remote Desktop installed - I know this article/thread is the other way around but it may provide some pointers for you:

Their is an interesting response some way down "Windows recently updated and probably broke RDP" - won't be the first time Windows has gone screwy - here at work, colleagues using Windows 10 or HP Surface Pros lost all network connectivity ... following a major Windows 10 update - LOL!
