Discussion on: Linux on Windows: WSL with Desktop Environment via RDP

[Robin Kretzschmar]

Can you open a wsl command line end check the logs right after this happens?
I'd check at least those logs:
tail -n 100 /var/log/syslog
tail -n 100 /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log
tail -n 100 var/log/sesman.log

I have the same issue.
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/sesman.log don't exist for me, but /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log contains the following:

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. Any ideas?

[Robin Kretzschmar]

Sorry no idea just from the logs.
Can you please post the content of your xorg.conf file?
Maybe this gives a hint.
