Unable to use xrdp to lauch KDE Plasma on Hyper-V VM

I have arch (kde plasma) installed on a hyper-v vm on my windows 10 machine.

Since the only way to get sound working is by enabling the enhanced session, I followed the steps on the wiki - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hyper-V to have xrdp installed.

I modified ~/.xinitrc to have the following lines added at the end, to launch my DE. (removed the lines starting from twm)

 export DISPLAY_SESSION=plasma && exec /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 

When I enabled EnhancedSession, I am redirected to a page other than sddm where I use the Xorg menu option to specify my username and pwd. Post that, it just displays a blank screen with my mouse pointer.

Can you please let me know what is that I am doing wrong. Being a newbie, I am not sure which logs to share. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Please ignore the post. Was able to resolve this by commenting out lines related to home in /etc/pam.d/system-auth
