Cheers,

I connect via Win10 with RDP to a Xubuntu 20.04 Laptop. I installed xrdp and xorg.

My goal is to work remotely on a laptop, when the lid is closed.

The Live session works fine (When I first log in on the Remote Laptop directly on the Laptop). I can not start a new session remotely, when another user is logged in. I read somewhere, that canonical has done this by purpose to extend the security l ...

After installing chrome-remote-desktop on Ubuntu 21.10 it seems to mess up polkit permissions. It asks for my password 3 times after logging in (color profiles, remote repositories, color management?), and it asks for my password when modifying NetworkManager in any way. I know how to solve the NM issue, but why should I be doing any of this all of a sudden? This has happened many times in the past afte ...

With a clean Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server running GNOME, everything is working fine when I physically log into the unit. But when I RDP into it as xfce4, the Restart, Shu Down, and Suspend button are all greyed out! The only button that is available is Log Out.

How can this be fixed so I can shutdown, suspend, or reboot via Remote Desktop?

I would like to login to a remote desktop in which xrdp and xfce are already installed and running. I can both login to the machine via ssh from terminal with username and password

ssh user@address

and via private key authentication

ssh -i my_private_key.pem user@address

I can also login via KRDC, but in this case I login into a xrdp GUI asking for the password, and I'm not able to paste it, which m ...

When I try to access my remote Ubuntu server via remotedesktop I'm presented with two login options,

• Default Launch the default XSession
• Ubuntu This session logs you into Ubuntu

The first option works provided that I am logged out of the remote system. Option two does not work. I cannot access a current session.

Is there anyway to access a current session?

Thanks

If I installing xrdp and use Windows (I also tried different devices) RDP to connect it crashes. If I have Xfce installed it connects normally and force uses it over gnome/default envoirnment and skips the log in screen but some functionality is broken.

How would I fix this? I have tried reinstalling the desktop environment, purging xrdp, using an installation scrypt...

I have a server with a gui version of Ubuntu installed. I have installed xrdp in order to access it from windows. I had done the same thing once before and when I connected with windows it displayed the normal gnome desktop. When I did it this time it only showed xfce. If I remove xfce than my rdp connection crashes when connecting. How do I get gnome/normal ubuntu desktop envoirment back in xrdp?

I've got a large amount of data I need to copy/paste from a remote machine to my local clipboard. I was puzzled at first as to why after the copy was complete (this took around 16 seconds) when I went to paste locally there was nothing in the clipboard. Then I noticed this message at the console:

I've got an ubuntu 20.04 desktop that I'm trying to access with chrome remote desktop. I had troubles installing via the gui so I went through the "headless" installation. When I connect via the client machine, I'm asked to select a session, default or current ubuntu. No matter which that I select I get a blank (black) screen with an x for a cursor.

Any ideas? Wayne

I'm on Ubuntu 21.10 with Budgie desktop. I somehow messed up my audio configuration so that the pulseaudio daemon won't load unless I manually run pulseaudio -D from command line. I think it might've been an unintended side effect of this shell script* I found which is meant to install and configure xRDP with appropriate options for passing audio output to the remote pc. From what I gather, it seems  ...

When I am using remote desktop connect to Ubuntu 20.04 in Windows, it doesn't show the full screen. When I move the mouse, the screen move along with the direction my mouse moving. The screenshot is below.

I'm desperately trying to trying to enable remote desktop on Ubuntu 21.10, in a way that could allow me to view and control the desktop even when there is no monitor attached to the computer. I've tried all the following solutions and softwares:

• RealVNC server: doesn't work with Wayland and requires an account
• TigerVNC: I wasn't able to view the desktop, perhaps incompatible with Wayland?
• TightVNC

I can not seem to use rdc from Win10 to connect to my Ubuntu box (on the same network). None of the suggestions have worked for me yet (disabling bitmap, changing resolution etc). It will connect but show nothing but black.

The steps I take are

1 ssh into Ubuntu box

2 start xrdp

3 start rdc on Win10 machine on same network

4 use default connection options and point it at the IP address of the Linux ...

I cannot run VS Code locally and and use Remote SSH developement, because I am using the Tails OS on my local machine.

But it should be straightforward to use VS Code remotely through VNC. So I am running VS Code in an Ubuntu instance in the cloud, and connecting from my local machine using Remmina.

However, when connected to the VNC server with Remmina, I find that most of the CTRL key sequences do not ...

I have started trying out X2Go instead of VNC for control of my Ubuntu PCs - and, while it generally works, I cannot quite figure out how to do the things, listed below.

I'm attempting to set up local screen sharing on a machine running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS desktop. This machine serves as a Jellyfin server and NAS. It has no dedicated monitor.

The problem I'm running into is that the GUI (settings > sharing) seems to have absolutely no control over vino-server.

In the GUI, I can toggle screen sharing on and off, tweak the security settings, etc. The GUI shows the  ...

I am able to log in manually by going to the computer and entering it there, but I am unable to log in by using remote desktop. I enter my password and it just stays at the login screen. Is there a permission I need to give to be able to log in remotely? (Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am pretty new to Linux)

This is what I see: LoginScreen

I'm trying to remote on to Ubuntu (21.10) from Windows 7. I read a few web pages, which suggested to install xrdp, so I did. I'm not an expert on this topic.

From Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection, after entering the correct password, the connection closes immediately.

I am using remmina to connect to remote machines using the RDP protocol.

What I am looking for is to be able to connect to remote machines without having to open the graphical environment.

When I am using Ubuntu's Remote Desktop Viewer (vinagre), I generally open a gnome-terminal on the remote server. While using the terminal, I want to have access to all Ctrl+key combinations. However, vinagre processes some combinations locally, for example; if a press Ctrl+Q, my remote desktop session is terminated; if I press Ctrl+D, it tries to add a "bookmark".
