We’d love to hear your feedback and, more specifically, the challenges that you encountered. Provide your credentials and click ‘ Authenticate’ and finally, this ushers you to the desktop screen of the remote Ubuntu desktop system as shown. After the initial authentication, you will be required to authenticate again as shown. $ sudo vim /etc/xrdp/startwm.shĪdd these lines just before the lines that test & execute Xsession as shown in the screenshot below. Head over to the remote system and edit the /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh script. In fact, I personally encountered it and after some digging, I discovered a nifty workaround. NOTE: At this point, you might encounter a blank black screen, instead of an Ubuntu desktop background. On the Xrdp login page, provide your login credentials and click ‘ Ok’. On the pop-up that requires you to verify the identity of your remote system, ignore the certificate errors and click on the ‘ Next’ button to proceed with the connection. Next, launch your client and key in your remote system’s IP address, and click the ‘ Connect’ button. This because Xrdp only supports one Xsession. But before we do so, ensure that you first log out of Ubuntu 20.04.
In this step, we are going to access the Ubuntu desktop system from Windows 10 using the Remote Desktop Client. Open Xrdp Port on Ubuntu Firewall Step 3: Access Remote Ubuntu Desktop with RDP Client Thereafter, reload the firewall and confirm if the port has been opened. In this example, I will allow traffic from my entire subnet to the Ubuntu system. Xrdp listens on port 3389 and if you are behind a UFW firewall, you need to open the port to allow inbound traffic from an RDP client. We need to add the xrdp user to the ssl-cert group to make the file readable to the user. When Xrdp is installed, an SSL certificate key – ssl-cert-snakeoil.key – is placed in the /etc/ssl/private/ folder.
The output confirms, without a doubt, that the xrdp daemon is active and running. You can verify this by running the command: $ sudo systemctl status xrdp
Xrdp service starts automatically upon installation. When prompted, just hit 'Y' and press enter to continue with the installation.
