dme, hi again…
I updated my x11rdp-o-matic & RDPsesconfig utilities to v2.4 which includes a fix so the utilities will run properly in a non-English system.
At the same time I tested this version on a fresh Debian 6.0.5 installation, with a Japanese locale set (to test the fix).
The utilities compiled installed and configured xrdp & x11rdp perfectly, so like I suggest, perhaps do a reinstall of your system and then download and try v2.4
Let me know how you get on!
Regards.
Hi Kevin,
I have just installed X11rdp using X11RDP-o-Matic. While I can connect via RDP, regardless of what session do I use (Gnome, Gnome classic, Unity 2d,…) I can only see my desktop wallpaper, no panels, no icons, just empty desktop. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks for your great work

Hi Glypto,
Not sure if you've found a solution to your problem, but try this…
echo "gnome-session –session=ubuntu-2d" > ~/.xsession
You should get a UI – i had the same problem, and it worked for me…
Good luck!

Dear friends.
I've installed xrdp using the automatic process and I can log in my ubuntu 12.04 machine and run some programs there, but when I try to run a java program, a .jar one. The system freezes.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance and best wishes.
Is there a way to set the default to [xrdp1]? Right now I'm using this to connect to a local VM linux box, and I have the credentials saved, so I'd like to auto select xrdp1 config without me having to hit ok at the "Login to xrdp" screen. That is, I don't want to see that login prompt at all.
Cheers!
Chris

hi mr Kevin.
first of all i want to thank you for this tutorial.
i was able to follow the instruction of the ff:
sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co svn://server1.xrdp.org/srv/svn/repos/main/x11rdp_xorg71
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-core
sudo apt-get install automake1.7 automake1.9
sudo mkdir /opt/X11rdp
cd x11rdp_xorg71
but when i get to
time sudo sh buildx.sh /opt/X11rdp
im having an error saying
sh: Can't open buildx.sh
I'm pretty sure i follwed everything can you help me with this?
Mathew hi,
This tutorial is kind of out of date now, did you try the automatic scripts I wrote?
Regards
Kevin
I am very impressed with your tutorial.
Thank you very much. I have 2 questions:
How to redirect the printer to your desktop?
How to redirect sound to your local desktop?
Thanks in advance.
Kumar
Kumar, for audio try my writeup at : http://scarygliders.net/2012/04/06/get-audio-with-your-xrdpx11rdp-connections-lan-or-remote/
For printers, well, I haven't had the opportunity to look into that yet, but port redirection via ssh might work, I wrote about ssh at : http://scarygliders.net/2012/04/04/secure-your-systems-with-ssh-on-linux-and-putty-on-windows-part-1/
Hope this helps!
I can confirm this approach and/or your scripts works fine in ubuntu 12.10 (provided of course you install the relevant window manager). I have it running a xfce session. I use it on my home desktop monster server to serve out desktops to my more limited but more mobile comptuters. I even used it with 12.10's remote login feature on the login screen which I'll admit is a cool feature but one that I probably won't use much (there are not ubuntu workstations lying around at work : ( )
Thanks for the scripts, the deb for xrdp is still not quite right in ubuntu. So this made everything work!
As Kevin Cave says, script very cool, but having problems with national characters. I use Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.
I install KDE:
apr-get install kde-standard
When I install X11rdp using this script. All working good, but in Dolphin Russian folders shows bad. IMHO because used ACSII charset, but operation system gets file and folder names in UTF8. So, non-english characters, which in UTF8 describes by 2 or more symbols, show incorrectly.
One more little problem: script not check, if I start it from xrdp session, and in a center of installing process, when it removes xrdp package, it hults with session. I understand, than stupid to start this script from xrdp session, but that about foolproof :)
Hi, a friend has installed ubuntu 12.04 and uses xrdp as you. But when we connect, everyone of us gets an own session, due to different screen resolutions, do you know, how we can work around this? and the same login data always uses the same session and if another one is already in, this one gets kicked? same functionality as in windows servers.
Michael, hi
You have multiple users wanting to log into the same session?
What you’re describing is in fact the correct way xrdp works – each different user on the system should have their own session, and also, if a different person logs on as an already logged-on user, and their resolution/colour depth is also the same, then whoever is logging on will grab that session and the other person will be kicked off – that’s what’s supposed to happen :)
Regards
Hi,
I used your script and they worked on ubuntu 12.10 64 bit!
Can you explain it please a bit more in detail how this achieve this. What I want to achieve is to connect to my office pc from my home office and there it should take my current session and shows all my open windows. A small howto would be great. Thanks,
Hmm, a tutorial on HOW to use x11rdp after it’s installed?
Excellent suggestion!
Regards!
Sorry for my dumb question … I thought maybe someone has the same problem and solved it. Although you already wrote that this is feasible thats why I hoped you can explain a bit more in detail, because I tried it and it does not work
Regards
Al, hi
No no! Your question wasn't dumb at all :)
This answer I gave in another post might be relevent to your question? : http://scarygliders.net/2012/06/20/x11rdp-o-matic-and-rdpsesconfig-version-2/comment-page-2/#comment-3470
Hope that helps
Regards,
Kevin.
You weren’t joking when you said it would take a while to compile x11rdp. I have a quiet day at work today and thought I’d play with my Raspberry Pi but I only have SSH access at the moment. This has been compiling for over four hours now. I knew it’d be slower on a Pi but I thought it’d be an hour or so tops.
Lol, it’s going to take a looooong time on a Pi :)
Regards!
I am using Kubuntu 12.04 and I followed the proceedure above, but I don’t get any windows manager in the RDP window (no matter what I try in .xsession or startwm.sh ….but if opened another term session on my local system and export DISPLAY=”:10″ I am then able to start xterm or gnome-session-fallback on the RDP session. I should say now that the execute rights are on both .xsession and startwm.sh
Any ideas how I resolve the issue – its driving me mad now!
Thanks
Hello Kevin,
First of all, thanks a lot for this great tutorial, very clear & helpful.
I installed xrdp/x11rdp on debian 6.0.
I’ve now just a little question, regarding the mouse pointer.
Cursor is black&white and pixeled, is there something to do ?
Thanks,
Best regards,
