<div class="">xrdp is easy to install on ubuntu. Follow
instruction, and you'll get blank screens that follow with
messages mentioning sessions.<br class="">

I'll just clarify, add lines at the top of that standard
script.<br class="">

<div class="">I use xrdp exclusively for my remote access to Linux
GUIs. Way better than VNC. One more tip I’d like to offer is one
that I always have to look up. Basically you end up with a black
box around the mouse cursor. This is fixed by adding</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">new_cursors=false</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">to /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now that isn’t the fix I tend to use; When I was
figuring this out I found that adding</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Xcursor.core: 1</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">to ~/.Xresources fixed it. My notes on my
(mis)adventures with XRDP are at <a

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Note that I think this cursor issue has been fixed
in the current versions of xrdp because they added XCursors
support (as of 1.9.0 I think): <a

<p>I haven't noticed problems with cursor. It could've been fixed.<br>
