Package: xrdp Version: 0.9.1-9~bpo8+1 Followup-For: Bug #862837 Hi,
upon upgrading xrdp from xrdp/0.9.1-4 to xrdp/0.9.1-9 (jessie backports), xrdp still doesn't start. I get these errors in the journal: Failed at step RUNTIME_DIRECTORY spawning /bin/sh: File exists xrdp.service: control process exited, code=exited status=233 I believe there are two issues that prevent the start: 1. /var/run/xrdp needs to be chgrp'd to xrdp, otherwise xrdp will never be able to start (that bug is actually present for a long time, I've always worked around it using a Puppet rule) 2. I needed to apply the workaround mentioned in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=854548;msg=30 to finally make it start up I hope this is helpful.
