On Jessie, with the Rpi3B, it is simple to enable xrdp:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xrdp

badda bing.


But with the new Rpi3B+ which requires Stretch, it has a problem.

It will still allow you to get to the login screen, but then after supplying the credentials it then goes to a blank screen.

How to make xrdp work with Stretch on the new Rpi3B+?

This is actually unrelated to the new hardware.

Turns out that Stretch comes with RealVNC server installed. Stretch will run on either 3B or 3B+ systems. To use VNC, enable it in raspi-config and use a RealVNC client for access.


But this conflicts with xrdp

To fix the problem and make it work, simply remove RealVNC server.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge realvnc-vnc-server

And voila, RDP access works normally on Stretch.
