I'm using a crossover cable between two computers.
You need to configure the ethernet for both computers.
In Fedora I'm using xfce
, if you haven't installed and want to install:
type on command line:
sudo yum install -y @xfce
If you want xfce
by default on your system,
than from dir /usr/share/xsessions
move all *.desktop
file to another directory and leave only one you need(in this case xfce.desktop)
sudo dnf -y install xrdp
sudo systemctl start xrdp
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
now enable your firewall to allow RDP port:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3389/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Now you can use Remote Desktop:
Some tips:
don't close the remote desktop using the 'x' button
always logout, or you'll reach the sessions limit
but you can change the configurations on sesman.ini located in /etc/xrdp
KillDisconnected=true
if you are facing some problem to loging, than take a look at your logs:
