      Yes - I learn. here is the same command - but in just three lines:

      sudo dnf install xrdp -y
sudo systemctl start xrdp | sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3389/tcp | sudo firewall-cmd --reload

      Also why are you using a pipe?

      That's a good point. For your continuing BASH shell learning @gjacobse, a pipe ~ | ~ passes the output of the first command to the one after it. So ~ ls -lha | grep ".." ~ lists all files including the hidden ones and then searches for any with .. in the string returned. When you just want to run commands one after the other, the proper concatenation been is ~ && ~

      What does ; means after a command?

        && will stop if the preceding command throws an error while a semicolon will run the following command no matter if the first one throws an error.

          Does this make a difference if I am running Cinnamon on the Fedora workstation? I installed via the instructions provided in this thread. I can make a connection, but when the screen comes up, it is just a blank window with a blank button. Then clicking the blank button, brings me to the screen below. I cannot type anything in the first drop down. I use my fedora username and password (added to the wheel group) but it just goes back to the blank window. 0_1537976635887_IMG_4864.JPG

            I just did a fresh install of Fedora 28 to update my instructions for this, however, I've discovered the by default Fedora 28 has switched to Wayland, and there's no working VNC server that I am aware of that works with it.

            This may be part of the problem.

              ScreenConnect also doesn't play nice w Wayland!

                Its been default to Wayland for awhile but you can switch it to Xorg.

                  Yeah. Now I just need to figure out how to switch the greeter to X and I'll be happy.

                    Yeah, I would be very interested in knowing how to do this. Any guidance for switching to Xorg? Assume I have no idea how to do this.

                      That's actually relatively easy... Log off.

                      Then when you select your user, click the little gear icon and choose Gnome on Xorg.

                        @dafyre But will that resolve the issue with connecting with xrdp?

                          I'm almost there, lol. The one thing I haven't figured out is how to make it start when you log in.

                            Under [daemon] section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf uncomment #WaylandEnable=false to force the login screen to use Xorg.

                            At the login screen, you will now only have two choices GNOME which is now Xorg instead of Wayland and GNOME Classic.

                                I've got it working well enough when the user is logged in... but the catch is that you have to log in after a reboot before being able to use XRDP+VNC.

                                  @dafyre I didn't ever get back to needing this until now. How were you able to achieve this? I use Fedora 28 and the Cinnamon desktop.

                                    NX works really well.

                                        That's the NX of which I spoke. We are using it for a lot of stuff now and it works really well.
