error loading libxup.so specified in xrdp.ini, please add a valid entry like lib=libxrdp-vnc.so or similar

[myusrn]

On an 2021 iMac M1 macOS venture 13.4 setup I built xrdp and associated binaries using these instructions using recent the xrdp-0.9.22.1.tar.gz and xorgxrdp-0.9.19.tar.gz downloads.

I then established sharing | remote login ssh connections to macos m1 arm setup where i did this an ran sudo /usr/local/sbin/xrdp -n --dump-config and from a separate ssh session sudo /usr/local/sbin/xrdp-sesman -n --dump-config

When i attempted remote connection using remote desktop store app [ connection / mstse.exe desktop app ] i login and fail to connect with /var/log/xrdp.log showing the following /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini lib=libxrdp-vnc.os related error.

I tried editing sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini commenting out the [Xorg] sections lib=libxup.so and replacing it with lib=libxrdp-vnc.so and then restarting xrdp and xrdp-sesman processes. No change.

Any insights on what i should do to try and fix this?

I have the same issues since moving from 0.9.x to 0.10.x.

@firewave - based on your comment in #2732 this may not be the same thing. You're not using a Mac, which is pretty significant.

Can you open a separate issue on this, filling in all the installation details and providing your own logs? We have more Arch users than Mac users, but no-one else has mentioned this particular problem. Other AUR users have got v0.10.x working - see neutrinolabs/xorgxrdp#294

Thanks.

@matt335672 It seems this was an issue in the AUR package. There was a new version made available recently and after updating it is now working.

Hi @firewave thanks for circling back with results of your additional experiements and findings on this matter.

q1. Does one have to do some special step to incorporate use of this new AUR package version you noted addresses macos apple silicon hosted xrdp service connection error detailed at start of this issue or does following the building on macos instructions using macos monterey 12.2.1 tested version xrdp-0.9.19.tar.gz [ or latest xrdp-0.10.0-beta.3.tar.gz ] + xorgxrdp-v0.2.18.tar.gz [ or latest xorgxrdp-v0.10.1.tar.gz ] process to create macos apple silicon environment binaries take care of that for you?

q2. Have you been able to successfully get the building on macos denoted macos monterey 12.2.1 tested versions xrdp-0.9.19.tar.gz + xorgxrdp-v0.2.18.tar.gz or latest versions xrdp-0.10.0-beta.3.tar.gz + xorgxrdp-v0.10.1.tar.gz based build successfully operating macos sonoma 14.4.1 apple silicon environment xrdp service connections?
