Hello,
let me first say, how much I like Your work.
XRDP creates a bridge for those born with Windows and now are on their way to
Linux.
I would like to give You some information about the problems I faced trying to
get XRDP running.
The first thing was, that 0.5 is not included in Synaptic. The version 0.4
included is not working with RDP 6 and it seems the workaround with rdp 5
downgrade doesn't work in my case.
So I had to walk the hard way.
I downloaded xrdp-0.5.0.tar.gz and unpacked it.
I opened the install.txt and was misleaded, as "make" did not work.
Reading the README brought me a litle further and I tried "bootstrap" and ended
up in several messages on each try with "configure" to install severals
packages. All in all I worked along like this:
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install libxfixes-dev
sudo sh ./bootstrap
sudo sh ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
cd /etc/xrdp
sudo sh ./xrdp.sh start
After this I was able to connect and log in using RDP 6 Client.
Next problem occured, when trying to install packages. The error "Unable to
copy the users Xauthorization file." came up.
A workaroud was found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138337
When rebooting the machine, the next problem came up, because I wasn't able to
connect again. It figured out, that the service wasn't starting on boot.
There was no /etc/init.d/xrdp
So I had to:
cd /etc/init.d
sudo ln /etc/xrdp/xrdp.sh xrdp
sudo update-rc-d xrdp start 20 2 3 4 5 .
which wasn't enough, because now the connection worked, but the session manager
was not responding.
Corrosponding to some threads I found, I had to change the "sleep 1" value:
cd /etc/xrdp
sudo nano xrdp.sh
xrdp_start()
{
echo -n "Starting: xrdp and sesman . . "
$SBINDIR/xrdp >> $LOG
$SBINDIR/xrdp-sesman >> $LOG
echo "."
sleep 20 <--- here I switched to 20
return 0;
}
After this, everything worked fine.
Now I am still facing some well known problems regarding the ALTGR key.
Obviously it doesn't recognize this key. So my german strokes to "@","","\"
and "~" are failing. The german characters "üöäß" are there.
In the end I have a request regarding the audio. I am thinking of setting up a
Ubuntu Machine as shared Machine for my family -like the Windows Application
Terminal Server. But at the moment there is no sound transfered, which makes it
sensless to surf though YouTube and so.
Do You plan to implement this?
My best wishes to You and I hope, I have written in a way, You understand my
belongings ;-)
Carsten
