By default, Ubuntu virtual machines created through Windows Azure are not directly connected to remote desktops and can only be connected via an SSH terminal.
- Create an Ubuntu virtual machine in Windows Azure Portal and Add Remote Desktop Protocol terminal support after creation is complete.
- Connect to this machine with putty, execute commands as root, install Ubuntu-desktop and XRDP.
sudo su -sudoinstall xubuntu-desktopsudoinstall XRDP
- With Remote Desktop Connection under Windows, there may be a black-and-white point background. This is because of compatibility issues between XRDP, GNOME, and unity, the solution is as follows.
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgradesudoinstall xfce4 sudoinstall xrdp vnc4serverecho"xfce4-session " >~/. xsessionsudo service xrdp restart
