Hi, I tried the tutorial, posts by M. Ridwan Hakim, Winson Chao.
I'm noob. I have Windows 10 Home and Debian on WSL.
Can you help ??

After entering the username and password, a window pops up:

Connection Log

connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350
sesman connect ok
sending login info to session manager, please wait...
login failed for display 0

login failed means, you can't login to xorg session, try reset your account password in ubuntu wsl.
passwd username or sudo passwd username.

I found this issue related to Kali Linux on WSL and since Kali is based on Debian, please check the issue with the comments and try the solution that worked out in their case.

They changed the Xorg backend to Xvnc to solve this.

This error is because Windows 10 home edition doesn't all RDP. I'm going to wait until the MS GUI release which should be in March 2021

No it doesn't make a difference whether you're on Home or Professional; you can still connect to RDP, even on Android. The xrdp server is running on WSL, not the main Windows, so it isn't affected. I have Kubuntu Desktop running perfectly on Windows 10 Home Edition. For me, that message comes up when I put in the wrong password.
