Hello i have installed xrdp and xfce4 on my gcloud compute engine. below is the process for installation:
i had a user with name myadav on the ubuntu 16.04 server:
so i first install xrdp by :
sudo apt-get install xrdp
and then i installed :
sudo apt-get install xfce4
then i perform some command for initiating xrdp and xfce4:
echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession
sudo vim /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
. /etc/X11/Xsession
. /usr/bin/startxfce4
sudo service xrdp restart
Now when i use windows RDP and type my external ip i get a xrdp login screen. My problem is that, when i type username as myadav which is a ubuntu user, unable to login. What is the username and password for login into my system. Thanks for your time.
Make sure that the user account that is to be used for logging in is a member of the tsusers group (this is a group that should be created by the XRDP program).
sudo usermod –a –G tsusers ‘username’
You can also try to troubleshoot the problem by editing the xrdp.ini configuration file.There are options for passwords where you can set a password:
password=<password>|ask
Specifies the password used for authenticating in the connection. If set to ask, password should be provided in the login window.
