Unable to rdp from ms windows to fedora 37

Have been using fedora - updated 37 and been trying to connect to this fedora from windows. After I put in my fedora id and passwd, i get a black window and it exits.
I know the ip, user id/passwd I am using is correct.

On the fedora side, I see a couple of errors in syslog:

[ERROR] sesman_data_in: scp_process_msg failed
sesman_main_loop: trans_check_wait_objs failed, removing trans
…
…
[INFO]window manager (pid…, display 10) exited with non-zero exit code 127 and signal 0. This could indicate a window manager problem
…

Any ideas on this? as this would be really helpful to have available.

Thanks,

Sunil

What software are you using on windows to connect the fedora?
Ssh? Something else?

3

windows rdp client - mstsc. I get the xrdp login with the only session manager being xvnc. I try to login using my fedora id and black window that just shuts down in a second.

Have you installed VNC on the Fedora system?

Yes, I have installed tigervnc on fedora. Not sure if ive gotten the install/setup correct. But followed steps. Maybe the display # im using as one? not sure.
At least I know its not an auth error. If I put in wrong passwd, I get an auth error.
Almost seems like vncserver not being able to start session correctly.

Forgot to mention, enabled and started the vncserver via systemctl.

I would look for messages from the service to see if it is providing clues to why its failing.
What does systemctl status vncserver and journalctl ( use --since to only see logs around the time you try to connect) have to say?

Your issue isn’t quite the same as this one.
