title: Error when installing and running XRDP (Remote Desktop) with Gnome Ubuntu: I encounter a Black Screen
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a remote desktop (Gnome Ubuntu) using <a href="http://xrdp.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">XRDP</a> (Remote Desktop Protocol). However, when I connect with either Apache's <a href="https://guacamole.apache.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Guacamole</a> or Microsofts <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-remote-desktop" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Remote Desktop</a>, I encounter a black screen with a cursor.</p>
  <p>I can verify that my Ubuntu server is running healthily through logs as well as ssh'ing in and running a test (proxmox interface).</p>
  <p>Interestingly, when I use <code>xfce4</code> instead of <code>gnome</code>, I am able to connect. However, I can't get the terminal to work properly for some reason. If I am logged into gnome using the proxmox interface I can see the terminal popping up in my gnome session when I start it in my xfce xrdp session.</p>
