Need help in configuring XRDP on SUSE Linux ESS 12 SP3

Question

All these test activity I am carrying out on my AWS instance for my test purposes.

I am bit of new Linux playground and I needed your guys expertise for configuring it. I am trying to install & configuring SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3 (HVM), SSD Volume Type on AWS & stuck up while enable XRDP. So need your help. Actually I am trying to configure XRDP on the AWS instance.

I followed this tutorial but no success : https://www.suse.com/documentation/s...igure_rdp.html '

Previously : All these options were pretty simple & straight forward on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4 (HVM), SSD Volume Type.

Current Issue : Getting the logging screen & then after entering the credentails everything goes blank, I can do anything on the screen. No UI nothing, Even I tried setting the display to 16-bit or 24-bit only but no success.

So let me know your thoughts or suggest some document which explains how to configure Linux 12 for XRDP.

Thanks

My issue has been solved !!!

Below are the steps I performed & it will be helpful for them who stumble upon the same issue.

# zypper update ( to update SUSE Linux Ent. Server)
# zypper install -t pattern gnome-basic
# zypper install xrdp

Enable VNC Remote Login

# Open yast, Select "Network Services", Select first entry "Remote Administration with VNC"
# Enable service

Configure Window Manager to use Gnome Edit file /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager Change entry DEFAULT_WM="" to DEFAULT_WM="gnome

Startup the RDP service and make it start automatically after Reboot

# service xrdp start
# chkconfig --set xrdp on
# systemctl start xrdp
