Remote Desktop from Windows onto Ubuntu 22.04 takes me to a XRDP login then a blank screen

I'm trying to get the Remote Desktop feature working on Ubuntu (Desktop) 22.04, but I can't seem to connect to my Ubuntu desktop from a Windows (10) PC. I'm using these instructions:

I've enabled Remote Desktop in the (Ubuntu) Sharing Settings, however when I run the Remote Desktop client (i.e. the standard mstsc.exe client) on Windows and connect to the IP address of the Ubuntu server, I get this login dialog:

Clik here to view.
XRDP Login

The Session dropdown has 4 options:

  • Xorg
  • Xvnc
  • vnc-any
  • neutrinordp-any

Selecting Xorg and some login credentials causes the window to close. If I leave the credentials blank I get an Ok dialog with this message:

Connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350sesman connect oksending login info to session manager, please wait...login failed for display 0

If I click Ok the it takes me back to the login dialog.

If I select Xvnc and some credentials then I get a blank green screen.

I get similar behaviour if I disable Remote Desktop in the Sharing settings.

I tried the same thing with a second Ubuntu 22.04 host and get the same thing.
