1. Install xrdp
You can install xrdp from the software
center.
Or, if you are installing it from
command line, then you can do it as below
~$
sudo apt-get install xrdp
2. When you try connect to Ubuntu12.10
from windows, you will see blank screen (no button, no launcher),
this is due to the incompatibility, a fix is expected from xrdp in
near future. But for the time being the work around solution to it is
to fallback to gnome session.
Install gnome fallback session
Alternatively from commandline as : ~$
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
3.
Configure .xsession for gnome session fallback
-
Create a new file .xsession at /home/
~$ gedit
.xsession
-
Enter the below command in the .xsession file
gnome-session
–session=gnome-fallback
-save
and close .xsession
Now
you should be able to connect to ubuntu12.10 using xrdp from windows rdp
client. However you may be interested to address the below couple of issues too after that.
4.
Its found that – the default shortcut to show/hide desktop has been
set as small letter “d”
So
to get rid of this, you may need to remove the shortcut or set it
back to some other key combination. You can do this by using
compizconfig settings manager. If its not available get it installed
from the software center or through command line.
~$
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Now launch compizconfig and go
to : General->General Options->Key Bindings
Change
to your desired key combination e.g alt+d
5.
Still there is a tolerable issue with the start menu button (topmost
right corner). For that I'm yet to have a work around . Only caveat
remains is how to logout of the remote session. Well, for the time
being – command line can be used.
~$
gnome-session-quit
