You will need to tweak your xrdp configuration file in order to have it working accordingly. Now, you should have a basic xrdp working solution. You are done and ready to perform your remote connection. To configure this, from the terminal console, you will issue the following commandĪnd then restart the xrdp service by issuing the following command sudo service xrdp restart This is why this desktop is really close to the broken gnome-fallback package in Ubuntu.Ĭonfigure xrdp to use MATE desktop environmentĪt this stage, you have to configure your Ubuntu machine in order for xrdp to know that the LXDE desktop will be used instead of the Unity or Gnome (which are not working anymore in Ubuntu). When done, you should have the mate-desktop installed.

REMOTE DESKTOP FOR UBUNTU 14.04 HOW TO
I had to google to see how to install mate-desktop 1.8. For this post, we will be installing the mate-desktop 1.8. I think that the Ubuntu repository are offering the Mate-desktop version 1.6. When done, you need to install an alternate desktop environment which will be in this case the MATE-Desktop Installing the MATE Desktop environment To proceed with the installation, press Y You will be then informed about the package size. In the Terminal, type the following command In order to perform the installation of the xrdp package, you will login into your ubuntu 14.04 machine. We will first install the xrdp package from the Ubuntu Repository. Let’s do this ! Install XRDP Package from Ubuntu Repository So, we decided to test another Desktop Interface : MATE-Desktop Interface.Īs you will see, the process is quite similar when installing xfce or lxde desktop…. We have also described how to use the lxde desktop interface in this post (see )Īgain, based on the feedback of our users/colleagues/customers, the main complain was that these desktops (LXDE and XFCE) were not Unity or gnome classic desktop.We have described how to use the xfce desktop interface in this post (see ).Again, we had to find a workaround and had to define another alternate desktop while connecting through xrdp. Since Ubuntu 13.10, the gnome-fallback desktop environment is kinda broken and cannot be used anymore in conjunction with Ubuntu. With 12.10, the Ubuntu -2d option being not anymore an option, we found as workaround that we could use the gnome classic (gnome fallback) desktop while connecting through xrdp. As you know, up to Ubuntu 12.04, it was possible to use Unity Desktop (even if it was the 2d version) as the xrdp desktop presented to the user. Boosted by the success of our post about Ubuntu 14.04 and xrdp, we have spend some time in trying other Desktop Alternative.
