==== XRDP under Hyper-V with enhanced session mode ====

If you want to use enhanced session mode in VMConnect while using Hyper-V for a NixOS VM, you need to specify some additional options:

services = {

xrdp = {

defaultWindowManager = "${pkgs.i3}/bin/i3";

enable = true;

extraConfDirCommands = ''

substituteInPlace $out/xrdp.ini \

--replace-fail 'port=3389' 'port=vsock://-1:3389' \

--replace-fail '#vmconnect=true' 'vmconnect=true' \

--replace-fail 'security_layer=negotiate' 'security_layer=rdp' \

--replace-fail 'crypt_level=high' 'crypt_level=none' \

--replace-fail 'bitmap_compression=true' 'bitmap_compression=false'

'';

};

systemd.services.xrdp.serviceConfig.ExecStart = lib.mkForce "${pkgs.xrdp}/bin/xrdp --nodaemon --config /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini";

virtualisation.hypervGuest.enable = true;

</syntaxhighlight>

As documented in [https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/issues/304855 this issue], the current behavior of the XRDP module in NixOS is to provide the --port parameter on the CLI in the systemD unit file. It does print a message indicating it's ignoring anything provided in the configuration saying <code>--port parameter found, ini override</code> in journalctl.

If in doubt, you can always run <code>ss --vsock -l</code>. If nothing shows up, then XRDP isn't listening where it should be and something about the above has changed.
