Start xubuntu 17.10 into RDP session

  • 772

I would like to have Xubuntu boot up, start some apps and then be able to connect to it via RDP.

Everything is working fine, other than the fact that my RDP session is not the same as the one that is originally logged into at boot. I would like to be able to connect to the same session as is booted into if this is possible.

xubuntu

  1. Actually, it's not possible to access the console session through xRDP software (as far as I know). xRDP open a different session than the console session.....

    The only option available would be to use something like vnc software where you can access the console desktop. It's possible to have vnc service start at bootup. Because vnc service can be started at boot up, you would be able to connect through a vnc client to the correct desktop

    Finally, you could also use the console option available in xRDP (so you can still use remote desktop client of your choice) and access the active desktop. Obviously, the console option is basically telling xRDP software to make a vnc connection

    Hope this help till next time See ya
