This post (also at SourceForge) suggests, as I suspect, that your Windows manager is not starting. I have no idea if this will get the desired effect.ДЄnother post at SourceForgeВ suggests (for Gnome users вЂ“ not sure if youвЂ™re using Gnome) that вЂњ/usr/local/xrdp/startwm.shвЂќ should look like this: #!/bin/sh Doing things in this manner will cause xrdp to use tightvncserver instead of vnc4server. It seem important to do tightvnc before xrdp.

He had to install tightvncserver, then install xrdp. This person was talking about TightVNCServer вЂ“ he had to remove xrdp, vnc4server, tightvnc, as they seemed to be installed in the wrong order. I did find a related post at UbuntuForums. I have to do a sudo shutdown - 0 from the terminal.

Again, probably dependent on my hostвЂ™s environment.ДЈ) Shutdown and restart from the drop-down menu donвЂ™t work. No big deal, because I first tested Chrome and Thunderbird which worked fine so I figured it was something easy. I first thought my terminal wasnвЂ™t working, until I changed the color scheme. I suppose this depends on video settings, etc, on the host.Дў) The default colors for the terminals were a black cursor, and lots of black text, on a black background. I just had to reconnect with a higher color depth. I almost jumped to the conclusion things werenвЂ™t working. 16, 24, and 32bpp all work fine, just not 8bpp. It looks like a monitor with the wrong frequency. Three things I saw, YMMVвЂ¦ДЎ) Connecting with just 8bpp (256 colors) generates a completely unusable, skewed display. Thanks for this! Everything worked perfectly on the first go with four easy steps, almost.

When using a fixed IP address, most routers do not know how to properly translate a name to the correct IP address,вЂ¦ unfortunately. Unfortunately most run of the mill routers do not offer this feature вЂ¦ to work around that issue, I ran DSNMasq on one of my servers for a while (although a little more cumbersome to do), and set the default DNS server to that server.Д¬heck your router and see if it has this option.ДЄn alternative is using the вЂњhostsвЂќ file on your machine (under Linux under вЂњ/etcвЂќ) which maps an IP address to a name.ДЄnother alternative, is when your router automatically assigns an IP address automatically to the machine, in this case the internal DNS of the router shouldВ know how to translate this as well. You can even assign multiple вЂњnamesвЂќ to one IP address (ideal when youвЂ™re running a local webserver but you have several virtual hosts on one server). Or in other words: in my router I can make an вЂњaliasвЂќ that translates to the desired IP address. I use DD-WRT on my router, which offers DNSMasq. Your router has to resolve the name properly, which is done differently for each router. Note : if you really need Copy/Paste functionality between the two machines, then please use UbuntuвЂ™s default installed вЂњDesktop SharingвЂќ instead (MacOS X users read this forum post). This seems related to 3D acceleration and nobody seems to care (since 2011, according to bug reports). Since Ubuntu 12.10 (if IвЂ™m not mistaken), xRDP doesnвЂ™t seem to work with the Ubuntu desktop anymore вЂ¦ unless you use an alternative desktop manager. This is where xRDP comes in play,В an open source remote desktop protocol (RDP) server.В It actually runs VNC protocol over RDP as far as I understand, yet if behaves much better than VNC by itself (possibly because of the used desktop manager). So how can we use RDP to control our Ubuntu box remotely? RDP is however a proprietary protocol from Microsoft. VNC has this streak of вЂњJPEGвЂќ quality and slow behavior, whereas RDP is fast and crystal clear. To remotely control my Windows machines, I always prefer to use RDP ( Remote Desktop Protocol) as it performs much nicerВ than VNCВ ( Virtual Network Computing).
