Since the current desktop manager of Ubuntu does not work with xRDP,
an alternative desktop manager needs to be installed. In this post, we will use XFCE.
Install xRDP and XFCE
|
sudo apt-get install xrdp xfce4 xfce4-terminal gnome-icon-theme-full tango-icon-theme
|
Configure xRDP
First, create an
.xsession file in the home directory.
|
echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession
|
Then edit the startup file for xRDP
/etc/xrdp/startwm.sh.
|
#!/bin/sh
if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
. /etc/default/locale
export LANG LANGUAGE
fi
startxfce4
|
Restart xRDP
|
sudo service xrdp restart
|
Test xRDP
As an example, on Windows, start the Remote Desktop client (
mstsc.exe)
and enter the IP address of Ubuntu. Then you will see the login screen.
After entering the Ubuntu username and password and click “OK”, a
window will show the login process. Finally, you’ll have access to your
Ubuntu machine.
