I am trying to install xrdp service on one my VPS server, and though all installed successfully I get following error after connecting via Windows MSTSC service.

Following are the resources I have used to install => (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

Imagine this as GUI Window -> Sample

Looks like you need to install X. Your VNC server log says file not found for xsetroot, xterm, and twm.
