This tutorial will show you step-by-step and demonstrate how to install and then use the xRDP Remote Desktop software on Ubuntu 20.04 (but any flavour of Linux will be similar) so I can connect to it and use it from my main Windows 10 PC.

Video : 0 - Final - Combined - The Result
------------------------------------------
Before I show you how to easily install XRDP and use it, I thought I’d first show you the result.
So, on screen you can see my main windows 10 PC, and the insert on the right-hand side is the screen from my ubuntu linux PC, which I have had to move into the garage.
[break time='500ms'/]
However, I still want to use it, even though its difficult to get to. So, I installed XRDP on it.
[break time='1s'/]
Now anytime I want to use it, I just start the remote desktop connection software that comes on all windows PCs, if your main PC is linux you can use tools like reminna to do the same thing.
[break time='2s'/]
Type in its IP address, which I’ll show you how to get, and press connect.
[break time='2s'/]
At the XRDP login screen, I simply use my linux username and password to login.
[break time='2s'/]
The result is that I can work on either my windows PC, or my ubuntu PC.
[break time='1s'/]
So, after the following introduction, I’ll show you how it was installed using only 4 short commands., all of which you will find in the YouTube comments section.
Video : 2 - Final - Installing xRDP on Ubuntu 20.04
----------------------------------------------------
On screen you can see my ubuntu PC, on which I have displayed the 4 installation commands, and a show me its Ip address, information command. I copy each into a terminal window.
[break time='2s'/]
The last command shows the IP addresses assigned to this machine, which are identified by the prefix INET. Just ignore the IP address 127.0.0.1 as that is just the machines loopback address, not its proper IP address.
[break time='2s'/]
When finished just reboot the linux machine so we can guarantee a clean start.
Video : 3 - Final - Combined - RDP Usage
-----------------------------------------
To demonstrate how XRDP is used, on screen you can now see both my windows PC and the linux PC.
[break time='2s'/]
If I stay logged on to my linux pc, you will notice that when I connect to it and logon, from my main windows pc, I am faced with just a black screen, as the username is already in use on the linux PC.
[break time='2s'/]
If I logoff, on the linux machine and try to connect again I should succeed.
[break time='2s'/]
However, it shows me this error, please take a note of it as I expect at some point you will get it too. What it simply means is the username and password entered was not recognised. What has probably happened, like happened to me is a simple misspell or I’ve left caps lock on.
[break time='2s'/]
Anyway, when I retype the username and password more carefully it works.
[break time='2s'/]
Having, for example, started a web browser, I don’t logoff in ubuntu, but instead simply close the windows remote connection window.
[break time='2s'/]
now, when I logon later, I can carry on from where I left off, just make sure that any setting to lock the pc or blank the screen is switched off.
When finished, I do logoff in linux.
