How to Remote Desktop from Windows to Lubuntu
I have tried to use the xrdp
to remotely connect from Windows to Lubuntu. I have tried several ways and have followed several guides but nothing worked.
When trying to connect from Windows I am asked for username and password. I enter them but the only thing that is displayed is some kind of gray screen and the cursor is just an cross. Nothing happens after that.
First open a terminal and enter sudo apt-get install xrdp
.
When that is installed enter sudo nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
in the terminal.
Make sure the last line looks like this:
. /etc/X11/Xsession
Then go to your home folder, rightclick and select Show hidden
.
If there is no file named .xsession
, create it. If there is a filed named like that, open it and make sure that it looks like this when your done: lxsession -e LXDE -s Lubuntu
Now type sudo service xrdp restart
in the terminal to restart xrdp. Now it should work :)
