Native HTML5 session using RDP to Linux Ubuntu Desktop

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Native HTML5 session using RDP to Linux Ubuntu Desktop

Post by nweng » Fri May 31, 2019 10:12 am

Hello all,

If this has been discussed before, I apologise. I try to look for a related topic about it here and by Googling it, but I didn't...

I was looking for a way to get RDP instead of VNC to work as a console method for accessing Linux Desktops on EVE. I know this can be done with Windows machines, but I tries a lot of times with Linux, to no avail.

I have built a Ubuntu Linux desktop with xRDP and Sesman working (I can RDP to it from a Windows machine, for instance). But HTML5 RDP console session doesn't work.

Is there a trick to get it working? Reason I ask is because RDP seems so much better than VNC, and it also allows for copy and paste into the VM, whereas I can't get copy and paste working on VNC...

Any tips?

Thank you!

Could you briefly share what you changed to make HTML5 RDP work on Ubuntu? I’m running into the same issue.
