> I just changed the /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini file to my own needs.

Manage x11vnc server to work on start up: To share the desktop of the computer. This will manage to work remotely with the computer. Xrdp and xfce4 to work together: This works also on my ubuntu 16.04. The instructions you need to follow are only from the two links below. Maybe the following will help others, so, they do not have to search around the internet the whole day, like I did. When the computer starts up, a service is calling x11vnc. Long story short, I managed it to work properly with x11vnc. From my point of view, this is because of a missing vncserver as iain-samuel-mclean-elder points out in a comment. The vino stuff does not work for me, I got the message 'connecting to 127.0.0.1:5900 error - problem connecting'. Still, I was unable to share the desktop, in other words to rejoin the local session. When installing xrdp, xfce and changing the xrdp.ini (as shown in your own answer), I was able to rejoin to a remote session. Also, make sure that uses a number that doesn't conflict with an existing configuration.

Type vino-preferences from the terminal, check 'Allow other users to view your desktop,' 'Allow other users to control your desktop,' and configure the 'Security' settings as you like (you will probably want to uncheck 'confirm each access to this machine' and check 'require the user to enter this password').Įdit /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini, adding in the text below. Install xrdp and vino sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install xrdp vinoĬonfigure vino so that you can remotely connect to the existing session Well, I was unable to find a way to do this with pure xrdp, but I did find a nice writeup on how to go about getting this set up as an rdp-to-vnc gateway.
