Because of compatibility issues between XRDP, GNOME, and unity,

Due to compatibility issues between XRDP, GNOME, and unity, it is still not possible to use XRDP to log in to GNOME or unity's Remote Desktop in Ubuntu 14.04, where only black and white dots are background and no icons are available. As with resolution 13.10, you can only log in to Xfce Remote Desktop using XRDP.

First install Xfce:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xfce4

If the network speed is slow, This will last for some time.

Then install the XRDP component and the VNC server:

sudo apt-get install xrdp vnc4server

To create a new profile on your own, so that you log on by using XFCE as the interface by default when you Telnet Then restart the XRDP service:

echo "xfce4-session" >~/.xsession

sudo service xrdp restart

This is equivalent to creating a new hidden file named. xsession in the current user's home directory and writing a line of xfce4-session to the file. You can also use touch to create a new file and edit it with VI:

Touch ~/.xsession

VI ~/.xsession

Now that the installation and configuration work is complete, the Remote Desktop Connection can be used in Windows Program to connect to Ubuntu host. You can also connect via any other terminal that supports the RDP protocol, such as Microsoft's Official Rd client on the iOS platform.
