xrdp clipboard and console screen

Goals:

When I remote desktop I want to connect to the console screen most of the time.

I want the clipboard to work between windows and linux.

When I remote desktop I want to connect to the console screen most of the time.

To get the console screen when connecting do the following:

  1. In Linux, open for editing
    /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
  2. In the section
  3. The section [xrdp1] can be changed to look like this:
    name=sesman-Xvnc
    lib=libvnc.so
    username=ask
    password=ask
    ip=127.0.0.1
    port=ask-1
  4. The only change is from “port=-1” to “port=ask-1”
  5. The ‘ask’ in port gives an opportunity to make changes to the log in
  6. When connecting remotely the first connected screen will show:
    “error – problem connecting”
    Ignore this and click the OK button
  7. The next screen defaults to “sesman X11rdp”, but you can select “console” in the module drop down list. Use the default option module “sesman X11rdp” for connecting to a different session.

An interesting thing to note: You can create an xsession file automatically so when a different user logs on they will get the same session each time.

When using RDP to remote in, I want the clipboard to work between windows and linux.

It will go from Linux to Win7 but not the other way around. Use the keyboard, ’cause rclick won’t work.
