Hi All,
Fedora 32 xrdp-0.9.16-1.fc32.x86_64
Is there any trick to speeding up and xrdp server? I can watch the pages paint. Windows machines on the same network with RDP server set up are twice a fast. AND THAT IS NOT RIGHT!
Many thanks, -T

I highly recommend using remmina instead.

For what I am doing, I have to use xrdp. You have any tricks up your sleeve?

What are you doing that specifically requires xrdp?

Yeah, once again one has to "pull teeth" to learn of the environment.
Also, what are the client systems? What is the client sw?
While there is no remmina for windows, there are other alternatives. One just has to do a short google search if the clients are Windows clients.

I am only looking for information on the question I posted. I am not after advice on alternatives.

Then the answer is most likely that you can't, other than maybe fiddling a bit with the protocol parameters.

Back when I was doing telephone tech support, I had to talk to customers who wanted me to help but were very reluctant to give me the information I needed in order to help them. I used to call the process of getting information out of them "playing dentist." I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one.

Hi Joe,
I still have to do a lot of telephone support. What I find is that the customer, out of ignorance of the technology, will pick out a computer term he has heard and use it as his symptom.
A classic examples:
"my computer won't boot".
Translation "my internet is down".
"my wireless is down".
Translation, "can't run a client server application because I goofed the password."
It is a skill doing telephone support. You have to get them to start at the beginning and tell you each step what they see on the screen. (And get them to stop reading you the names of all the icons on their desktop!). I am sure nothing I have said here is news to you.
Go To Assist really helps, if yoo can get them to log in. Some can't, so I have to visit them in person.
As far as the question I posted here, it was extremely narrow in its focus. I clearly stated the environment (fedora and xrdp, including revisions). And I asked a "specific" question. I only wanted THAT question answered.
Unfortunately, since the guys on this group are total mensches and will give you the shirt off their backs, my question morphed into "how do I remote access a fedora machine", which is 100 times more broad than what I asked. This is a hazard of dealing with a group of such knowledgeable great guys.
By the way, I do this too at times. But I will preface my answer with "Not what you asked, but...". That way if the questioner wants to divert from his original question, he can.
And as far as my question did go, when Sam figured out I only wanted the question I actually asked, he responded with: "Then the answer is most likely that you can't, other than maybe fiddling a bit with the protocol parameters." This was brilliant on his part. It made me read over the ini file's parameters really, really slowly, where I found
tcp_send_buffer_bytes=32768 tcp_recv_buffer_bytes=32768
which I quadrupled. And that fixed the problem.
And I might add that Sam, although he did not know the answer, knew where to (re)point me to find the answer. Now that takes talent!

Actually, there was no typo. You wrote it correctly the first time. :-) "I am sure nothing I have said here is news to you."

Mumble, mumble. Type + Typo.
You know that xrdb problem has been annoying me off and on for five years now. Google was zero help. I am glad I got you on the case.

Sorry, I misread that. You're *serving* rdp from your Linux computer. I wasn't expecting that and remmina isn't going to help. I suspect that with windows, rdp is better integrated into the display system. It might also be able to use better compression methods, but that shouldn't make much difference on a local network. What about trying vnc instead?

I have experimented with vnc server and it drove me around the bend.
You will notice on the xrdp.ini I posted that the vnc section had to be commented out and replaced with xorg.
Now I will go off topic a bit. The best VNC client for Linux I have found is the Windows version of Ultra VNC running under Wine. But please no advice on VNC. Please just stick to the question I asked.
I really ONLY want advice on the question I posted.
I just remembered two setting commented out in the ini file:
tcp_send_buffer_bytes=32768 tcp_recv_buffer_bytes=32768
I wounder is doubling or quadrupling them would help?

I just quadrupled those two. I made a noticeable difference. Now maybe faster than the windows workstation RDP servers on the same network.
Yippee!
Anyone who wants my paper on how to set up and xrdp server, let me know.
