Can you put the file /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini back to the install default?

This file seems to have an error on it which is causing the [Xorg] section to not be read at all.

When you've done that, have another look at xrdp-sesman.log and we can make small changes to get the system working.

Can you try running up and posting the xrdp-sesman.log?

[welemasters-glitch]

xrdp-sesman.log

My goal is to get this VM working using x11 Xorg so i can have usera remote into this server and use a legacy windows application under wine. i haven't tried to reconfigure it to do that yet as each time i do it still tries pulling vnc server instead of the install xorg components.

There's nothing in that log @welemasters-glitch

You should have messages along the lines of the ones you've posted earlier.
