Ubuntu 18.04 Xrdp Configuration
Raw
ubuntu-18.04-xrdp-config.md

Installation

sudo apt install xorgxrdp tigervnc-standalone-server xrdp

Configuration

I prefer vnc over xorg, so set autorun=Xvnc.

Set firewall: sudo ufw allow 3389/tcp

Enable autostart: sudo systemctl enable xrdp

Fix authentication popup problem:

sudo bash -c "cat >/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/45-allow.colord.pkla" <<EOF
[Allow Colord all Users]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device;org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-profile;org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-device;org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-profile;org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-device;org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-profile
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes
EOF

Now reboot and try to connect to it.
