Release notes for xrdp v0.10.4.1 (2025/07/07)

General announcements

This is a bug-fix release for xrdp v0.10.4

If you like xrdp, please consider sponsoring or donating to the project. We accept financial contributions through Open Collective, and direct donations to individual developers via GitHub Sponsors are also welcome.

• [V0.10.3] Experimental support for utmp/wtmp file is provided in this release. If you use this, be aware that these files are only updated when an xrdp session is created or destroyed. Disconnections and reconnections to the same session are not tracked. In particular:
  • the FROM address for a client (as shown by the w command) reflects the IP address of the client at the time of creation, and not the address of the currently connected client.
  • Sessions started by the xrdp-sesrun command do not have a FROM address.
• The use_vsock parameter in xrdp.ini is deprecated. Use 'port=vsock://' instead.

Hi Team,

I’ve recently implemented XRDP on my Zorin OS. I am looking for best practices or recommended performance adjustments for XRDP. I’m experiencing significant lag when connecting via RDP over my mobile hotspot, but I don’t encounter the same issue when using Remote Desktop to connect to my Windows server—the connection there is smooth. This makes me suspect there may be performance tuning or configuration tweaks available for XRDP that could help optimize my remote session experience.

Could you please advise on recommended XRDP settings or system tweaks to improve performance, especially for connectivity over slower networks like mobile hotspots?
