Black screen in 0.2.15

[saddy001]

Hello, this is

• Ubuntu 18.04.5 with compiled xrdp v0.9.15 and xorgxrdp v0.2.15
• ./configure --enable-fuse --enable-pixman --enable-tjpeg

While version .14 was all fine, after updating to v.15, everything seemed fine here too. Only after about 24hours or so, I'm getting a black screen after login. From then on, this is permanent. The server does not much in that time, but two things: starting a virtualbox VM and hybernating "/usr/sbin/rtcwake -m off -s 36000". I narrowed down working vs non-working logs to two essential lines in /home/user/.xorgxrdp.*.log. In the non-working log situation, I'm getting lines

jpeg support 8807
rdpCapture3: unimplemented color conversion

while in the working versions, I get jpeg support 0

I believe jpeg support returns an error code here, being 8807 in the error case and 0 in the no-error case.

xorgxrdp/module/rdpClientCon.c:
843     LLOGLN(0, ("  jpeg support %d", clientCon->client_info.jpeg));

If I use another client (Opera instead of Firefox) the issue persists. The other logs (/var/log/xrdp.log, /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log) contain no relevant difference between working and non-working situations, but if you need them, I have them here. Also rebooting does not help.

I believe there is some issue in the clientCon->client_info function.

PS: If I revert to .14 everythings starts working again.

It also happens in v0.2.14.

Can you confirm what happens if you turn on JPEG on the CLIENT?

Thanks for your reply. I'm using apache guacamole's web based client. As far as I know, there is no option to enable JPEG. The current status is the following:

• v.14 seems also affected
• I removed all config files of x*rdp
• I switched from checkinstall to make install
• I reverted to v.14, mostly because there seem to be some errors in the log, that are not really errors (occur also when all is okay, there is already a ticket for that)
• I checked the logs again in the last black-screen situation and this time, I found no suspicious jpeg support lines. Moreover I found nothing that looks like a real error.
• With the above steps done, it's stable since ~24hours

Normally I would paste all the logs now, but this time, I threw them away (it was late). I suggest I'll migrate to v.16 when it's ready and open a new issue with logs if it happens again. Except you need any more information?

Thanks for the feedback. BTW, I meant you to try turn on/off JPEG. That was my typo. Anyway, I'll have a look. Thanks!

It's stable again. My guess is that it was one of the config files that broke things. Although I never changed one of them.

rm -R /etc/xrdp /etc/X11/xrdp /etc/pam.d/xrdp-sesman /usr/sbin/xrdp* /var/log/xrdp*
