Hi Everyone,
What is the best way to connect to lubuntu remotely from multiple
devices (computer, tablet, etc..)? I am _not_ referring to connecting
simultaneously. I just need access to the remote desktop from what
ever device I am using.
I have become a big fan of lubuntu in the last year. Mainly because I
can use it with xrdp to manage remote servers and perform remote
development. When not connected, xrdp+lubuntu leaves virtually no
traces in memory or CPU. Another benefit is that remote desktop exists
for almost any client.
As you are probably aware ubuntu 13+ breaks xrdp+lubuntu. When you try
to log in, you get a gray screen. There are many people posting
solutions that prescribe leaving lubuntu to go to xfce4. Here are more
details
<http://askubuntu.com/questions/449785/ubuntu-14-04-xrdp-grey>. I
believe the issue is with xrdp (not lubuntu).
I am hoping you guys can help me find a better remote connectivity
option. Please let me know what works best for you.
Thank you for your consideration and regards,
Chuck Boecking

I'm currently using Google Chrome Remote Assistance, which so far is the
best compromise I've seen for a situation where a set of known devices
are accessed regularly (as opposed to one-off connections). I'm using it
with laptops/desktops running Lubuntu and Windows. I don't know about
tablet support.
It's not as good as Chrome Remote Desktop (which is not offered on
Linux), in that it requires the user to start the host program (which
can be a bookmark in Chrome, or a desktop shortcut), issue an
invitation, and give you an access code.
But the performance is better than any VNC-based solution I know of, and
I don't have to set up and run some sort of an access server.
In the past I have used Intel Mesh, which doesn't require user
intervention on the host machine, but I have not been able to get it
working under Lubuntu 14.04.
