  • What Desktop do you see when you login locally? What Desktop do you see when connecting via xrdp? Commented Dec 20, 2024 at 21:12
  • I see different desktops. They have different window managers, different themes and different shortcuts on the desktop. I'm logging in with the same credentials in both situations. Commented Jan 23 at 6:52
  • Well if thats the case you need to determine what the desktop is when you login locally and then determine if it's set to that after you login remotely Commented Jan 24 at 20:26
  • @eyoung100 this is kinda what I'm asking. How do I find that out, and then how to do I configure things to use the same desktop? Commented Feb 4 at 20:42
  • Run tasksel on the local login machine. Under Desktop, it should have an asterisk next to the DE (most likely GNOME 3), and then the same on the remote machine. If both tasksel's are the same output somethng else is different. For your post's sake issue a cat /etc/os-release on both machines and post the results as an edit, in case the outputs requested are equal.. Commented Feb 4 at 20:49
