Hi All,

Just discovered ogon! I've used XRDP with FreeRDP for quite some time, and I decided to see what ogon had to offer as it's apparently the closest thing to a FreeRDP server? The support for advanced codecs intrigued me.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome 3.32 installed using this process: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1072096/how-to-install-gnome-3-29-92-or-3-30-in-ubuntu-18-04

I've built and installed everything I can following these instructions: https://github.com/ogon-project/ogon/blob/master/doc/build-debian-ubuntu.md

However, when I try to sign in to ogon using this FreeRDP command (MacOS X 10.15.4):

/usr/local/bin/xfreerdp /ipv6 /bpp:32 /v:[FQDN]:3389 /w:2560 /h:1396 /codec-cache:rfx /rfx /rfx-mode:video +multitransport /compression-level:2 /codec-cache:rfx +glyph-cache +offscreen-cache +bitmap-cache /video +clipboard +compression /network:lan +gfx-thin-client /sec:rdp

(I build regularly from HEAD), I see the login/greeter screen, but once I type my password, I get the following error:

The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “sh: xprop: command not found
sh: xprop: command not found
[00:08:07:208] [30027:0e423000] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core] - rdp_set_error_info:freerdp_set_last_error_ex ERRINFO_LOGOFF_BY_USER [0x0001000C]

[00:08:07:208] [30027:0e423000] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.transport] - transport_check_fds: transport->ReceiveCallback() - -1”

Are there any logs I could look at? I've checked /var/log, the normal X11 logs, and /opt/ogon/var/log doesn't exist.

Make some progress. I found that the errors were in syslog:

Partial progress. I was able to get MATE to load.

The command to run was to populate ~/.config/ogon/desktop with 'mate' (According to the documentation here, it needs to be from /usr/share/xsession sans the .desktop extension)

So:

echo "mate" >~/.config/ogon/desktop

However, when I switch it to "ubuntu" it doesn't work... Going to debug that next.
