As mentioned, I have tried the methods mentioned on the Internet, but still cannot connect through XRDP.  
But I had no problem installing Xrdp on XFCE.

1. The firewall has been turned off
2. All sessions have been logged out
3. I can use x2go to connect

Is it a problem with the virtual machine environment? If so, I will test it directly on the physical server.
