I remember this is regression #3082.
Could you try to apply dcaa31e?

Hi, I actually downloaded the tarball from release page [May 10th], not git cloned the latest development. The regression you mentioned was introduced on May 21st, which shouldn't have affected my build.

@mega-optimus - that fix is scheduled for the next release of v0.10:-

Hi, I realized I followed the README in tarball instead of https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/wiki/Building-on-Debian-8. Specifically, ./configure --enable-fuse --enable-mp3lame --enable-pixman & sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/xrdp{,-sesman} /usr/sbin were not followed.

After following these instructions, and enable drive sharing in mstsc.exe, then I git cloned the latest development version of xrdp & xorgxrdp, compiled & installed, still file paste was not functional, with following message:

Thanks @mega-optimus - I'll have a more detailed look at this.

Can you provide the following?

• Output of xrdp -v
• Output of git show HEAD | head -5 when you're in the xrdp directory.
• Output of grep -i ^fusemountname /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini
• A chansrv log file when the error occurs. To make sure there are no problems with stale connections or hung-over FUSE mounts, please reboot first . Then restart xrdp & sesman (if applicable) and log in. The log is then in /home/allen/.local/share/xrdp-chansrv.$D.log where $D is the display number (probably 10 or 11). You can check the time on this is current if you're not sure which file.

Please let me know if there are any problems or difficulties in obtaining any of this.

i cleared the directory before rebooting, this is the only file generated afterwards.
xrdp-chansrv.10.log

[mega-optimus]

Thanks @matt335672 @metalefty !
After checking xrdp-chansrv.10.log, the root cause is thinclient_drives failing to mount.
This is due to my historical attempt's left-over.
Previously after reading some other web post, I believed there needs to be a .clipboard directory inside thinclient_drives thus I created one.
After deleting this .clipboard directory, it works like a charm ! :-)
Btw, drive sharing is not needed for copy & paste to work.
