Windows remote connection to Ubuntu 16.4 desktop

Remotely connect to Ubuntu 16.4 desktop

There are not many scenarios for this. After all, the natural advantage of Linux is CLI, but some software requires user interface software to operate, such as Android studio, which requires such things. Therefore, a remote desktop is needed, and the use of the GUI software becomes very important.

I have searched a lot of tutorials on the Internet, but there is no complete tutorial. Either the one used is not connected, or some tutorials are scattered. Therefore, I will give a pen to summarize how to configure through the command line.

step##

Install xrdp

sudo apt-get install xrdp

Install vnc4server
For the release version of Ubuntu, vnc4server is already installed, so we don't need to install it manually. If it is another version, you need to install it manually.
Install xfce4
This software is relatively large, and the internet speed is only a few minutes.

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

Configure xfce4
Create a .xsession file and write the content.
echo "xfce4-session" >~/.xsession
Continue to configure xfce4

sudo vi /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
in/etc/X11/Insert the previous line of Xsession
xfce4-session

Restart xrdp
sudo service xrdp restart
After the configuration is successful, you can access the program mstsc.exe through the windows remote desktop. This program is searched in the start, and it can actually pop up, which is a monitor icon. Enter your Linux username and password to access.

$ cat /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
#! /bin/sh

if[-r /etc/default/locale ]; then
 . /etc/default/locale
 export LANG LANGUAGE
fi

xfce4-session #Newly added
. /etc/X11/Xsession

Configure auto-completion

~ $ diff ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml_bak
