Ubuntu 18.10 Enable Remote Desktop for root
I have enabled root login on Ubuntu 18.10 with gnome desktop, works fine. I also have installed xrdp, and it works fine for normal users but not root. I am facing three issues:
I want to enable remote login for
root. When i try to login, i get this error message Can anyone help me to solve this issue?For users other than
root, in xrdp session i don't see complete gnome desktop as shown in this screenshot. The sidebar is missing, and there is no Terminal in right click menu. How to fix this?How to enable multi-user remote login? I want multiple users to be able to remote login at the same time.
The most important issue to fix is to enable root login via xrdp. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I am sorry if I sound harsh, but I think what you are trying to do is a terrible idea. See askubuntu.com/questions/16178/why-is-it-bad-to-log-in-as-root You be able to do what you want that requires privileged access by using sudo.
