General discussion • Re: Pi 3B+ bookworm 64, rebuild from scratch, XRDP not working

Are you trying to upgrade Bullseye to Bookworm without a reinstall, or doing a fresh install of Bookworm? The following assumes a reasonably clean Bookworm install (doesn't necessarily have to be a fresh install, but there's some work needed to fully convert an old Bullseye install, if that's what you are doing).

Bookworm changed the default desktop from X11 to Wayland. As of the July 2024 official OS, RealVNC seems to connect ok to a Pi running the 64-bit Full OS on default settings (and just enabling VNC in raspi-config, can't remember if it's enabled by default); older releases of the OS seemed to be problematic.

By default, there's no RDP server running on RPi OS Bookworm with the Wayland desktop. I've had a try to see if gnome-remote-desktop from APT might work, as it reportedly can do RDP on Wayland for some distributions, but no success with it so far. Hint: you would probably need a minimum of something like "systemctl --user enable --now gnome-remote-desktop.service" and enable RDP with grdctl(1). I have a feeling it probably only works if you are running a full GNOME desktop, not the default LXDE desktop with Raspios Bookworm.

Your options, as I see them, are:
  1. Change from Wayland back to X11 (raspi-config).
  2. Change from LXDE to GNOME under Wayland, and hope you can get the GNOME RDP stuff working.
  3. Use VNC (RealVNC seems to work ok, as far as I can see, including Chromium)
  4. Use Raspberry Pi Connect (I believe it's intended to work both over the LAN and over the Internet. It's quite new, and I've not yet played around with it.)
If you are trying to do an upgrade rather than reinstall, I suggest doing a clean install of Bookworm on a second microSD card, so that you can play around with a clean/default image and see what works and doesn't work for you there. You can then compare the installs to see what differences might be causing problems for you.
