How to Install Xrdp (Remote Desktop) on Ubuntu

Remote Desktop (Xrdp) is a free and open-source implementation of the Microsoft RDP server that enables Linux operating systems other than Microsoft Windows to provide a fully functional RDP-compatible remote desktop experience.

In the Linux servers don’t have remote desktop installed. if you need to install RDP on Ubuntu first install X11 and a lightweight desktop environment that will act as a backend for Xrdp.

In ubuntu repositories there are several desktop environments available. We will be installing Xfce . It is a fast, stable, and lightweight desktop desktop environment.

Type the following commands as a sudo user for install Xfce on your server:

Xfce.

$ sudo adduser itsuupport ssl-cert


The Xrdp configuration files are located in the /etc/xrdp directory. If you require only conect Xrdp connections then you no need to any changes to the configuration files. By default Xrdp uses X Window desktop, which in this case, is XFCE. The main configuration file is named xrdp.ini. If you make any changes in the configuration file you need to restart the Xrdp service using following command.
