Public bug reported: [Availability]
xrdp is in Universe and has no deps outside of main. xorgxrdp is built from the same source package. [Rationale] We want to make Ubuntu (desktop) integrate well in to as many other operating systems as we can when running as a VM guest. RDP is a good choice for this, especially on Windows, as it offers good integration and can utilise the tools already installed on the host. This will make Ubuntu (desktop) perform and integrate well when running as a guest, and show off the desktop in the best light. [Security] The package has had three CVEs in the last five years. All of them were fixed upstream quickly. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=xrdp It uses port 3389. [TODO: Need to find out if this port is opened automatically, in which case we need to lock it down to not be open by default. We (desktop) will look in to this now and update this summary as needed] [Quality assurance] There are a relatively low number of bugs in Launchpad. This package is well maintained in Debian and upstream are actively developing it. [Dependencies] All binary deps are in main, or come from the same source package. [Standards compliance] [Maintenance] Desktop Team will take on maintenance of this package. [Background information] This package provides two levels of functionality. It can turn an Ubuntu machine in to a terminal server, hosting many remote sessions from a single machine. Or it can allow remote KVM(and sound) access to a logged in session to allow the desktop to be viewed from another location. It is expected that this second mode will be the default and most useful for most users. ** Affects: xrdp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1749148 Title: [MIR] xrdp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xrdp/+bug/1749148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
