To Access Ubuntu Remotely from Windows Lets Start by Opening the Terminal
Next Type :
|
1 |
Sudo apt-get update |
Enter the Admin Password and press Enter
Once the Update date is done , continue by running the following command
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install xrdp |
Once the Installation of xrdp is complete we will move on to install Xfce4
( Unity doesn’t seem to support xRDP in Ubuntu 14.04; although, in Ubuntu 12.04 it was supported ). That’s why we install Xfce4.
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install xfce4 |
Next Step lets configure xRDP
First we need to create, or edit, our .xsession file in our home directory. We can either use nano or simply redirect an echo statement (easier):
|
1 |
echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession |
The second file we need to edit is the startup file for xRDP, so it will start Xfce4.
|
1 |
sudo nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh |
The content should look like this (pay attention to the last line and ignore . /etc/X11/Xsession):
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
#!/bin/sh if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then . /etc/default/locale export LANG LANGUAGE fi startxfce4 |
Modify the current config by adding (startxfce4) to save config press ctrl+O .
Restart xRDP
To make all these changes effective, restart xRDP as such:
|
1 |
sudo service xrdp restart |
Testing if we can RDP to Ubuntu now
On a Windows Machine Type ctrl + R to Open Run then Type mstsc
Next Lets enter the IP address of the Ubuntu machine and click Connect
Click on Yes for the Warning Message
Enter the Username and Password for the Ubuntu Machine and click “OK”
Click on “OK” on the Next screen
And there you go 🙂 #HappyDays
