You should now be able to connect to the server via Xrdp. If you are using Linux as your Local desktop you can connect to the server via Remmina. If you are using windows as a local desktop, Windows users have an RDP connection application by default on their machines.

Introduction Remote Desktop Xrdp is a free and open-source implementation of the Microsoft RDP server that enables operating systems other than Microsoft Windows to provide a fully functional RDP-compatible remote desktop experience.
And now its working fine on both. Awesome — glad the issue is resolved now. As far as I know, drag-and-drop from remote desktop is not supported at this time. Thanks for catching that! Great guide , got this up and running in under 10 minutes on Ubuntu Glad you got it to work that fast!
Thanks TerryMcP! Did you try the tips in this comment? I posted that one a while ago but the user never confirmed if it worked or not.
Since you say this is on the client side — just to make sure — you did not use For something more akin to the TeamVieweresque experience with a remote XFCE, do yourself a favour and give x2go a try.
Most actually prefer TightVNC. Source :. This is supposed to be used to do resolution setting. I will look into this. I tried to tweak settings in my RDP Client, it kind of worked, but still checking for more information. BTW, is there anything like I can redirect the access through google server, since my ISP allows Google server transfer at super speed? Can you elaborate? Thank you very much, Its really awesome. Now I want one more help that is I have to see only that desktop working, menace Can I see Ubuntu user screen during its working for security reason, If yes then please help me.
In ubuntu I used remmina for desktop sharing. But is there any software for windows so using that I can share ubuntu desktop. It might be easier to use VNC for that, here an example. Hi I always install with those commands Xfce on my online ubuntu vps but this time is not working in google cloud, I dont know why can someone help me!
My apologies for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, too many people simply copy all the content and place it on their website as if they wrote the article. I am remotely accessing on network my ubuntu However, during login it asks for port and on giving same port helps me in resuming my session on ubuntu.
My question is how many sessions I can run simultaneously. I have a machine with large resources and want to give it to different people to work on it simultaneously. Maybe someone can chime in an comment on this?
Thanks for making this super simple and easy to follow but I am having an issue where my RDP connection to my VMware ubuntu server is really slow refresh rates. When I scroll I can see the pages being rendered, when I move windows around i can see the same thing, is there a way to tweak this? Something I found here that might help:. Fine tune xrdp. I did read somewhere that disabling audio if currently enabled will give you some more speed as well.
The wireless network I have is very much capable of handling the RDP streaming! I made the changes you suggested and I did indeed notice a marked improvement in the speed so thankyou very very much for those tips. I was searching high and low for tweaks and couldnt find it so your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks for letting us know that the trick did work.
Please let us know if you find more tricks that boost speed…. I have a Windows R2 domain using Windows 7 machines for the clients.
I have also an Ubuntu On my Ubuntu I use to Connect on my 5 servers and transfer files to each other using the Connect to Server option. I made a search for this problem but there is not any similar post.. Maybe one of the visitors here knows an answer? Did I get that right? Now ,for the reason that the Connect to Server option is missing from the toolbar on the left , i manually inserted the address of the server.
The problem is that when i TRY to drag and drop the tab into the terminal this is what I am doing on my OK, well that sounds like a limitation of drag and drop support with xRDP? I hope someone here is following this discussion and is more experienced in Ubuntu use than I am …. I only use Ubuntu to occasionally compile my applications, but I do not use Ubuntu on a daily basis.
Because of the difference in desktop modes used during rdp connection, remotely connected will appear different. If you want to transfer files from one system to another, try scp connections. For transfering between linux and windows, use pscp available on download page of putty. For transfering between linux machines, install auto-ssh server and use scp. You can easily find command tutorial on net or tell me if you need more help.
Awesome, thanks for chiming in Ankit! Just found this tip, not sure if it might be helpful to anyone source :. I am running into another issue where the XRDP is not working. I have been at it for quite some time now and I think that I need help. I believe that it is an issue of the Ubuntu machine not listening on a port. However, when I go to rdp from windows, I am able to connect and type in username and password but when I do, I get the following error:.
Could the issue be that my Ubuntu machine is not listening to port ? WHat do you guys think? If so, how can I make sure that Ubuntu is listening to port ? I believe that i have found a large issue. My question now is how do I set up xrdp to listen to port ? But I found it rather convenient to use the vino VNC server which I believe comes installed by default on recent Ubuntu distros. The username can be left blank because it is not used for VNC authorization.
Thanks Sergey for the great info! I love it when visitors contribute with valuable tips. Thanks Austin for chiming in!
Thanks very much for this. Another words, picture two monitors side by side — click open on the windows screen, and it appears on the Linux screen but not the windows screen.
You actually start a session on the remote machine, so on the monitor of the remote machine, your actions will not be shown. The very different look on the monitor and your remote screen suggest this to me anyway. Hope this helps. Thanks — gotcha on the different sessions.
OK so I created another user account and remoted in using that account, problem solved. Interesting behavior. Your normal ubuntu machine uses gnome 3d desktop.
But to run it using xrdp or remotely, we require 2d desktop environment like xfce shown in this tutorial , gnome 2d environment, mate and many more.
If you observe image 2, that is how your screen and functions appear from remote login. Refer to the previous comment, Sergey has mentioned about port which vns server listens to, through some changes in preferences you can actually add option to input port everytime.
Refer image 1, below password there will be option to input port in that case. Now whenever you start new session, it is assigned a port.
If you disconnect running session and want to reconnect to the same, just enter the existing port. And by entering -1 new session can be started. In a way, you can run multiple sessions in parallel. However, running sessions in parallel can have its own disadvantages. I have observed that if you open browser like mozilla firefox in one session, you cannot open or use that browser in another session. Also, if I connect to same session of remote connection from different machines, I am able take over the session.
Thanks for chiming in Ankit! The latter is described here — read the comments there as well, I did see some tips there too. Hope this helps please let us know! Thanks for your quick response and im confident. When I connect to the target server from RDP on my mac, it comes up with a grey screen and the cursor is a large X. Any hints on what could be the problem? Username and PW are all correct, the server is a virtual machine if that helps.
Please verify that the correct Windows Manager has been installed and that the config file is set correctly. Not sure if it was a problem with my xfce installation or not, but I have a working remote session. Thanks for taking the time to post your feedback! I have this working fine with Ubuntu I sort of know what I am doing.
No errors. However, when I connect to the machine, I just get a black screen. No login info. Basically, it is broken. Just black. Looks like an xrdp related problem. If I manually fire up a vncserver on my I can then connect to it with any VNC viewer, no problem. I think there is a security-related problem. The one fired off by xrdp expects a different passwd. Thanks for posting all your findings though.
Yeah, I saw that article. Get this. I have another brand new Win10 system. I installed Ubuntu No mods required. I have no clue why my other setup, described above, is puking on this. So… I am re-installing How could I have messed up the system that much in so little time?
I know in my gut that somewhere I could fix this with changing a line or two, heck, maybe just flipping a bit! Never done that before. I usually just nuke and start from scratch. I know how you feel — it happens to me at times as well. Maybe one or the other might not start or not start the same way when comparing both systems. After nuking the OS and re-installing, my problem system now works fine. I wish I knew what was wrong, and what a clean re-install fixed. I can say that now, twice, I have followed the instructions on this page and it has worked with Ubuntu One time it failed.
FWIW, both At this point I connected, and it worked. Re-installed all my other apps, and it still works. As an engineer, I HATE not knowing the root cause for a problem, but the weather is too nice to spend time inside trying to debug stuff outside of my area of expertise. I am gonna sit by the pool and drink margaritas, and get sunburned. Can you be more specific? Thanks Hikmat for posting the fix!
I upgraded two systems from I had to make one simple change to get things to work. I found on another webpage about getting xrdp to work with This works the same as before, firing up xfce4.
However, I think my problem is that since I upgraded from I would think with a clean install of Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the excellent guide, worked great to get my Ubuntu I really appreciate your write-up. One quick question… is the xfce4 desktop only for the remote connections? Does this change both? If it does, is it possible to have xfce4 only for the remote connection? Also glad to hear it was of good use to you as well.
Weather this is the only desktop manager depends on your config of course, but the default desktop manager of Ubuntu Unity is or was not working with xrdp. Hope this help, and for the upcoming weekend: Happy New Year! I can ping the Ubuntu machine and I can ping out from the Ubuntu machine.
Systemctl says that xrdp is running. Have you run across this before? Good tip! That sounds about right — it will start a new session and not continue an existing session. For example this link , and this link. Hope you dan find a fix …. Same issue along with its solution has been posted in previous comment. See this comment. Do read that comment first and then add what I am mentioning. When you remotely connect your machine for the first time, all ports are free.
Hence, it will connect to While connecting, you can see a grey box in the left corner which mentions which port your session is connecting to. By modifying the file, you are taking control over which port you want to connect to. Hence, if you can remember the port of your previous session, during next login you can mention the same port and you will connect to your existing session. Thanks for the tip Ankit!
Hi Hans, i followed your tutorial, and it work! Great, thank you very much. When i check the service status using:. Please help, do you have any solution to this problem? I did see that others run into this problem independent of this article and did find this older post at AskUbuntu I assume you use Ubuntu. Their suggestion:. I am new to Lubuntu, I followed the above instructions and all went fine.
Except I was stumped for a while on how to edit the startwm. Others will find this to be useful as well! Thanks for the tip Marton! Most likely this is caused by a communication issue, either over your network I assume you work in your local network or the window manager.
Check out these comments. The setup worked and I can log in fine, but nothing populates on my desktop on the remote desktop. I am using Ubuntu 16 and Windows Any suggestions of what to try. Are you seeing a blank X window, with no icons etc …? Using xrdp for connecting to a remote Xubuntu system has worked great in It is failing if the ubuntu system is upgraded to Thanks Pratik, glad it works for you!
Very much appreciate the Thank-You note! I was using xrdp for a while, Today I met with an error, and i cant figure out. I tried almost everything, but im sure im missing somethng very silly.
The error is password failed, error — problem connecting. The recent failure of xrdp in Ubuntu is a result of an update to xrdp. The file sesman. By the way, I have yet to get xrdp to work will in Ubuntu Thnx for your quick reply. This solved my issue in which xrdp service stopped soon after logging in. The problem seems that the security type 2 which is got selected by default was not supported by the xvnc server. Thanks guys for posting the fix here! If so: kill that task and try again.
I am trying to install xrdp service on ubuntu Either you missed something in the steps, or your Windows manager is not xfce4, or one of the problems and solutions described in this Ubuntu Forum post. Thanks Aaron for posting a Thank-You not — it is much appreciated! Another user had success by rebooting the PC on which Ubuntu ran. Somewhat of a newbie question here. I am not sure if there is something I am doing wrong. So when editing with nano for example:. As for the content of.
After much frustration with trying to use stock xrdp on Ubuntu Thanks EZ for posting this! Thanks again! But, I cannot open a terminal on remote desktop. If I try to open it, it opened on original computer not remote desktop. And also if I open some software on remote desktop, such as Chrome browser, It is also opened on Ubuntu I have not used xRDP for a while now, and I do not recall running into an issue like that either.
I do think though that Terminal not appearing on the remote desktop may be a security thing. Not being able to run an independent session eg. The trick is quite simple. We will simply modify one of these script in order to have the. Type in the password.
If everything goes well, you will see the content of the startwm. With this xRDP should make config files on a user basis, but to be honest: I have not tested this yet and a q1uick look at that file, depending on your setup, may make it a little confusing. The only error I see is the Bolded-below. I did find this bug report still open! Apologies for not being able to assist in a better way. My other version is an Xubuntu version not sure if that matters and running on an older Laptop that I am using as a Syslog server.

Desktop Manager Since the current desktop manager of Ubuntu Unity which runs on Gnome no longer seems to work with xRDP, an alternative desktop manager needs to be installed.

If you're running Ubuntu See this blog post: c-nergy. The first is pretty easy to check; simply run this in terminal on the machine you're trying to connect to change if xrdp is listening on a different port : netstat -an grep "LISTEN " grep "" If you get something similar to the following, something at least hopefully xrdp is listening for connections: tcp 0 0 Hope this helps!
Below is the output of the netstat.. I will check the second part and let you knwo.. OK, good, that means that xrdp is listening for connections. You did say that you can only access the virtual machine on port 22, though, which would be why the RDP client can't connect. What virtual machine software are you using? I am sorry.. In the ubuntu, I just installed xrdp.. You said in your OP: I have a virtual machine ubuntu to which i need to do remote desktop.
Is this a machine on your local computer or is it a VPS hosted somewhere? Basically it uses Apache Software Foundation's solution.. Virtual Computing Lab!! Show 1 more comment. Here is what I did: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xrdp or you could use ubuntu software center to install. The installation appeared to go ok and it appeared that the xrdp service was started ok. More google research.
