Instructions

  1. Run the following commands to install XRDP.

    sudo apt-get -y install xrdp

When requesting to login to xrdp, select sesman-Xvnc module.
Enter the user name as Ubuntu, and the newly created password.
Ensure that the port number is -1.

When the system connects, several status messages are displayed on the Connection Log screen. Pay close attention to these status messages and make note of the VNC port number displayed. If you want to return to a session later, specify this number in the port field of the xrdp login dialog box.
