To note: I did use Script Version 1.4.8 from c-nergy.be to install, and made a few other manual changes to the config.

added xrdp to ssl-cert group changed permission settings on /etc/ssl/private to allow other users to access --

At this point I'm not sure if the issue is somewhere in the XRDP files where I need to tweak a line of code, or if there's something wrong with my VPN/network. Have been troubleshooting for over a week (different installation methods) - so hoping there's some answer here on how to resolve the behavior.

I think this should help you. https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/2297

I think this should help you. #2297

Thank you! I attempted to make a few of the changes recommended in that thread, but still having issues with permissions in my session - specifically trying to download cudnn software.

Here are the steps I took:

chmod 644 /etc/xrdp/cert.pem chmod 640 /etc/xrdp/key.pem chown :xrdp /etc/xrdp/key.pem usermod -G ssl-cert xrdp Reboot system

A few differences. When I run ls -l /etc/xrdp/key.pem /etc/xrdp/cert.pem my output is:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jan 22 22:27 /etc/xrdp/cert.pem -> /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jan 22 22:27 /etc/xrdp/key.pem -> /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

id xrdp uid=129(xrdp) gid=135(xrdp) groups=135(xrdp),113(ssl-cert)

ls -l total 4 -rw-r----- 1 root xrdp 1704 Jan 22 22:06 ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

Does this have to do with using the snakeoil key? If there are additional steps I should take, the advice is greatly appreciated.

@kluehrsen - your session permissions are nothing to do with the TLS key. This is exclusively used for setting up a TLS connection to the machine.

I suspect your issues are related to 'polkit'. I've just added a FAQ for this, which frankly I should have done a long time ago:-

https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/wiki/Tips-and-FAQ#why-cant-i-perform-some-privileged-gui-actions

Have a read of that, and please let me know if it's useful or not.

Thank you, this was very helpful. For my case, running the script didn't resolve the issue initially -- it took checking the auth.log and seeing org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted was failing authentication --

I then added the following to your /etc/pol-kit-1/localauthority/50-local/pk-local.pkla :

[pk-local override for org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted] Identity=unix-group:pk-local Action=org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted

ResultAny=auth_admin

ResultAny=yes

Thanks so much for your help, very much appreciated!! KL

Interesting.

On my Mint system, I get this:-

$ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted --verbose
org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted:
  description:       Install untrusted local file
  message:           Authentication is required to install untrusted software
  vendor:            The PackageKit Project
  vendor_url:        http://www.packagekit.org/
  icon:              package-x-generic
  implicit any:      auth_admin
  implicit inactive: auth_admin
  implicit active:   auth_admin
  annotation:        org.freedesktop.policykit.imply -> org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install

auth_admin means you need to be an administrator (or able to authenticate as one). auth_any lets all users install untrusted software. Is teh user you're running as also in the sudo group?
