The notes below were adapted from How To Enable Remote Desktop Protocol Using xrdp on Ubuntu 22.04

• Ensure you have the Xfce Desktop Environment installed and working on the machine you want to access remotely.
• dnf install xrdp
• systemctl start xrdp
• As root, vi /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
  • You should be able to comment out the Xorg section and just keep the Xvnc active
  • Modify the port number if you don't want to use the default
  • systemctl restart xrdp
• Modify firewall to allow xrdp or custom port
• Modify local router to forward to custom port if needed
• Create a file $HOME/.xsession as 700 permissions and the following contents:
  • /usr/bin/dbus-launch –exit-with-session xfce4-session
