One of the neatest things I discovered recently was how to set up my CentOS desktop so I could RDP into it from my Windows desktop. Previously I was using VNC which takes a bit of work to set up and doesn’t give you the full desktop view that RDP does. Setting up your box to RDP into it, however, is cake!

From the command line, simply issue the following 3 commands:

EPEL repository should be enabled.

# yum -y install xrdp # chkconfig --levels 5 xrdp on # service xrdp start

# uname -a

Now you can go to your Windows system, open Remote Desktop Connection and put in the ip address of your Linux system. Of course this only works if you have the X windows system installed and running on your Linux machine.

How to use xRDP for remote access to Ubuntu 14.04 To remotely control my Windows machines, I always prefer to use RDP ( Remote Desktop Protocol ) as it performs much nicer than VNC ( Virtual Network Computing ). VNC has this streak of «JPEG» quality and slow behavior, whereas RDP is fast and crystal clear.

RDP is however a proprietary protocol from Microsoft. So how can we use RDP to control our Ubuntu box remotely?

This is where xRDP comes in play, an open source remote desktop protocol (RDP) server. 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).

Since Ubuntu 12.10 (if I’m not mistaken), xRDP doesn’t seem to work with the Ubuntu desktop anymore unless you use an alternative desktop manager. This seems related to 3D acceleration and nobody seems to care (since 2011, according to bug reports).

Note : if you really need Copy/Paste functionality between the two machines, then please use Ubuntu’s default installed «Desktop Sharing» instead (MacOS X users read this forum post ).

Testing your xRDP connection

On the computer that will remotely control your Ubuntu machine, start you RDP client -[ by clicking of .rdp file — NNB]

Windows comes standard with a Remote Desktop client (mstsc.exe � you can start it from a command prompt, or find the shortcut to Remote Desktop under Accessories).

For a Mac, Microsoft actually has a Remote Desktop Client which can be found in the Apple App Store , or you can use Cord (free).

Whichever client you use, most work with either the computer network name or IP address of your Ubuntu machine.

To find the IP address on your Ubuntu box, type:

Depending on your RDP client capabilities and settings (for example: Microsoft RDP Client allows automatic login), you might or might not see the login screen.

Here we enter our Ubuntu username and password and click «OK», after which briefly a window will show with the login process and you’ll have access to your Ubuntu machine, even though the desktop looks different. One downside I’ve discovered so far is that the clipboard is NOT being synchronized so Copy and Paste between machines does not work properly.

Installing XRDP onto RHEL6 — Red Hat Enterprise Server Software Engineering & Security Notes

I was told by a senior colleague that XRDP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xrdp/) is a great way to remotely connect to your Linux servers through windows remote desktop protocol. It extends an XOrg session through through VNC and then the RDP. Here is how you can get it working on RHEL6!

sudo yum install gcc make pam-devel openssl-devel vnc-server autoconf automake libtool libX11-devel libXfixes-devel

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/xrdp/xrdp/0.6.1/xrdp-v0.6.1.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fxrdp%2F%3Fsource%3Ddirectory&ts=1390846301&use_mirror=softlayer-ams

tar zxvf xrdp-v0.6.1.tar.gz
cd xrdp-v0.6.1
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

Add user(s) to the 100, «users» group to allow them to login via RDP

sudo nano /etc/group

Edit iptables to permit inbound RDP

sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables

add

-F INPUT
-A INPUT -m state —state NEW -m tcp -p tcp —dport 3389 -j ACCEPT

sudo service iptables restart

Make it a little more secure by enabling 128 bit 2-way encryption

sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

Change crypt_level=low to crypt_level=high

Generate a new RSA key

sudo /usr/local/bin/xrdp-keygen xrdp auto

Start XRDP up and then try and connect to it using remote desktop client in Windows

sudo /etc/xrdp/xrdp.sh start

Finally make XRDP auto start as a service.

sudo ln -s /etc/xrdp/xrdp.sh /etc/init.d/xrdp
sudo chkconfig —add xrdp
sudo chkconfig xrdp on
sudo service xrdp start

How to Install Xrdp Server (Remote Desktop) on Ubuntu 18.04

July 28, 2019

Installing Desktop Environment

Generally, Linux servers don’t have a desktop environment installed. Our first step is to install X11 and a lightweight desktop environment that will act as a backend for Xrdp.

There are several desktop environments (DE) available in Ubuntu repositories. We’ll be installing Xfce. It is a fast, stable and lightweight desktop environment, which makes it ideal for usage on a remote server.

Type the following commands as a user with sudo privileges to install Xfce on your server:

sudo apt update sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utils

Depending on your system, downloading and installing Xfce packages will take some time.

Installing Xrdp

Xrdp package is available in the default Ubuntu repositories. To install it, run:

When the installation process is complete the Xrdp service will automatically start. You can verify that Xrdp is running by typing:

sudo systemctl status xrdp

The output will look something like this:

● xrdp.service - xrdp daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/xrdp.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2019-07-28 22:40:53 UTC; 4min 21s ago Docs: man:xrdp(8) man:xrdp.ini(5) .

Configuring Xrdp

Xrdp configuration files are located in the /etc/xrdp directory. For basic Xrdp connections, we only need to configure Xrdp to use Xfce. To do so open the following file in your text editor:

/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

Add the following line at the end of the file:

Save the file and restart the Xrdp service:

sudo systemctl restart xrdp

Configuring Firewall

By default, Xrdp listens on port 3389 on all interfaces. If you run a firewall on your Ubuntu server (which you should always do), you’ll need to add a rule that will enable traffic on the Xrdp port.

To allow access to the Xrdp server from a specific IP address or IP range, in this example 192.168.1.0/24 , run the following command:

sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 3389

If you want to allow access from anywhere (which is highly discouraged for security reasons) run:

For increased security, you may consider setting up Xrdp to listen only on localhost and creating an SSH tunnel that will securely forwards traffic from your local machine on port 3389 to the server on the same port. Another secure option is to install OpenVPN and connect to the Xrdp server trough the private network.

Connecting to the Xrdp Server

Now that you have set up your Xrdp server it is time to open your Xrdp client and connect to the server.

If you are a Windows user you can use the default RDP client. Type «remote» in the Windows search bar and click on «Remote Desktop Connection». This will open up the RDP client. In the computer Field enter the remote server IP address and click «Connect».

In the login screen enter your username and password and click «OK».

Once logged in you should see the default Xfce desktop. It should look something like this:

You can now start interacting with the remote XFCE desktop from your local machine using your keyboard and mouse.
