    So I just fixed this problem, Hope it helps others: The moment u see connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350 (or any other port). Take that port number, and allow that to the ufw using ( sudo ufw enable, Sudo ufw allow 3350 and sudo ufw allow 3389) . This worked for me. Hope it fixes this issue. – Nishad Nazar Jan 10 '19 at 19:10

I have encountered exactly the same issue on ubuntu 14.06 running on AWS today. I checked the /var/log/apt/history.log and found out that the system updated the xrdp package automatically xrdp:amd64 (0.6.1-2, 0.6.1-2ubuntu0.1)

I downgraded the package and it now works again. 

sudo apt-get install xrdp=0.6.1-2

Then, I decided to exclude xrdp from automatically being updated.

sudo apt-mark hold xrdp

xrdp set on hold.

    If you hold a specific package, it will be excluded from an automatic update. We can unhold the package by sudo apt-mark xrdp – m02 Jan 14 '19 at 11:26
