I am trying to connect to my Kali Linux VM through RDP, but after loggin in the screen immediately closes.
First I was getting error complaining about the securetty file. This file didn't exist, I created it in /etc and this error stopped.
Then I was geeting error with permission to read the certs, I added xrdp tp the ssl-cert group and the permission error was solved.
However, the connection still doesn't work.
Follow below the errors I found in Kali:
