Starting with 18.04 on both ends I want to access my remote machine via RDP.
I have verified that the client using remmina works very fast using GFX RFX colour depth connecting to a Windows 10 RDP server. Please note that neither of GFX AVC variants works as there seems that libfreerdp doesn't come prebuilt with their support on 18.04 (remmina installed by apt, not manually from their repo).
When I connect to an Ubuntu 18.04 server running xrdp, performance is not nearly the same: the entire experience is laggy, especially at resolutions above full HD. It is clearly not using the advanced codecs.
I tried installing Remmina from their repo to test the AVC depths, but the only thing that changes is removing the AVC depths from the list altogether so now I can't even select them (previously they just didn't work). Apt didn't touch the libfreerdp libraries though when I upgraded Remmina from their repo.
How can I set up my systems such that I will have good performance?
