Ubuntu 14.04 – How to install xrdp in Ubuntu 14.04

Hello World,

Ubuntu 14.04 has been released on April 17th 2014 and we already released the

traditional post about how to perform a fresh install. We didn’t covered the upgrade process

because it’s quite easy nowadays. Basically, you will be notified that a new version is

available and you will be asked if you want to upgrade to the latest version.

Some readers and some of my colleagues have been asking for a post about XRDP

functionality in Ubuntu 14.04. If you follow me, you know that we have been using xrdp

package in order to connect to linux machines using the built-in remote desktop client

available within Windows Operating System.

You probably also know that since the introduction of Unity Desktop Interface in Ubuntu

you need to tweak the configuration in order to have it working. The most annoying part

while using xrdp (with Ubuntu) is the fact that you have to install an alternate desktop

environment.

So, in this post, we will describe the steps needed in order to install xrdp and the xfce

alternate desktop that will be used while remoting into your Ubuntu 14.04 machine.

Let’s Go!
