I am trying to get the Ubuntu versions of linuxserver/rdesktop to work but with limited success. I am using docker-compose running on a Ubuntu 20.04 host and RDPing from another computer (Mac Mini). I have tried creating the container image using the :latest, :ubuntu-mate, :ubuntu-xfce and :ubuntu-kde version tags but so far, only using the :latest version tag has worked.
My docker-compose.yml file is as follows:
---
version: "2.1"
services:
rdesktop:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/rdesktop:latest
container_name: rdesktop
security_opt:
- seccomp:unconfined
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=America/Montreal
volumes:
- /path/to/data:/config #optional
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
ports:
- 3389:3389
#devices:
#- /dev/dri:/dev/dri #optional
shm_size: "2gb" #optional
restart: unless-stopped
privileged: true
I have tried updating the docker-compose.yml file to use a different version tag, after which I re-run docker-compose to rebuilt the container and try to connect again. When using the :latest version tag, the RDP session connects right away without errors. If I use any of the :ubuntu tags, the behaviour varies and I either get no connection the first time, a black screen which closes on its own, or a black screen that doesn’t update.
I have tried running docker logs -f rdesktop to monitor things and have seen the following:
...
rdpClientConDeinit: disconnecting clientCon
rdpClientConDisconnect:
rdpRemoveClientConFromDev: removing clientCon 0x55af701df5b0
rdpClientConDeinit: deleting file /run/xrdp/sockdir/xrdp_display_10
rdpClientConDeinit: deleting file /run/xrdp/sockdir/xrdp_disconnect_display_10
(II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
...
which appears right before the RDP session window closes. I have also seen what appears to be a segmentation fault message in the logs.
I’ve been able to get the an Ubuntu version of linuxserver/webtop running but would like to get linuxserver/rdesktop working as well with Ubuntu. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
