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.
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.
Under
[daemon]section in/etc/gdm/custom.confuncomment#WaylandEnable=falseto 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.
That got me pointed in the right direction!
Thanks. -

Thanks.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.

noMachine is nice.

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

Trying to go to their site now.. seems like it is down at the moment.

Yeah, it was down for about 10 minutes. It's available now. Works great. Thanks.

On Windows use chocolatey and on Mac use homebrew to install nomachine.

Sadly, no, I haven't. From what I can tell, Fedora 28 (probably 29 too) use Wayland by default. I haven't found a way to get it working yet. I tried switching the Login Screen to use X first, but even that didn't help.

@dafyre OK. That is unfortunate. For now, I am going to use NoMachine when needed.

Have you tried disabling Wayland instead?

I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to do a fresh install and see how that's done, unless there's a working VNC Server package in Fedora 29...

Just edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and uncomment WaylandEnable=false and then restart. You will have only two options GNOME and GNOME Classic.

That gets me one step closer. I can get XRDP to connect to the local VNC server, but the user has to log in (locally) first... :face_with_cold_sweat:
