Setting up Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode with Fedora 39

Tested working with Fedora 39. Reported working with Fedora 40.

(Commands prefixed with a # should be run as the root user or with sudo. Commands prefixed with a $ should be run as a regular/unprivileged user.)

  1. # dnf install xrdp (with Xorg session support: # dnf install xrdp xorgxrdp)
  2. If using Gnome: # $EDITOR /etc/pam.d/xrdp-sesman and comment and uncomment the appropriate lines.
  3. Optionally, rename the shared drives mount: # $EDITOR /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini and set FuseMountName=shared-drives
  4. # $EDITOR /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and set port=vsock://-1:3389 ([Globals] section), security_layer=rdp, bitmap_compression=false. Uncomment the whole [Xorg] section if you chose to install the xorgxrdp package.
  5. $ systemctl enable xrdp xrdp-sesman
  6. Shut down the virtual machine (do NOT reboot) and close the Virtual Machine Connection window.
