Hi,
I retired on Friday :-)
To give myself something to do, I decided to get one of the new Raspberry Pis
(the Pi 2), with
the intention of picking up on learning Python where I left off some time ago.
(The intention
being that I would have something to use that would be a bit more 'physical'
than the last
time I did it.)
However, before I could start anything serious, I wanted to sort out remote
access, so that I
could program on the Pi while still having full access to my normal machine -
without
resorting to a KVM Switch. I thought about using VNC, but my experience on
Windows lead
me towards Remote Desktop because it is more responsive. I installed it, it
worked, I shut
down the Pi, it no longer works.
Here is what I did:
On the Pi which is running Raspbian:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xrdp
After processing, I got a message to say that xrdp had been successfully
installed and started.
On this box, which is running Kubuntu:
I Opened KRDC ( a VNC/RDP client) and typed in the IP address of the Pi.
After a brief login dialog, including a request for the password, I was in.
On the Pi:
Reconfigured Raspbian to boot straight into the desktop instead of the shell.
Restarted.
Waited until the Pi was booted again.
On this box:
Tried to login to the Pi again using KRDC

I then got _http://www.hadrian-way.co.uk/Misc/My_Control_Panel1.png_
(no request for a password). I then got
_http://www.hadrian-way.co.uk/Misc/My_Control_Panel2.png_ and
_http://www.hadrian-way.co.uk/Misc/My_Control_Panel3.png._ The last screenshot
shows the error.
I then logged into the Pi with SSH, and proved that xrdp is running
see _http://www.hadrian-way.co.uk/Misc/My_Control_Panel4.png_
I get the same result from a Windows box and this time I did have to type the
password. If I
reconnect the mouse, keyboard and monitor to the Pi, the desktop is still
running, so what
gives?
