My problem is similiar to: Blank desktop when logging in via xrdp But I am also loosing the connection.
I have an Ubuntu 14 Server VM in Microsoft Azure Cloud. And my laptop is Win8 X64.
I am able to access to the VM console via SSH by Putty.
I followed these instructions to make server accesible via mstsc (windows remote):
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
$ sudo apt-get install xrdp
I set an end-point for port 3389.
I can make a remote connection and see the xrdp login window. I chose sesman-Xvnc Module and login with my credentials.
Then see this window:
And then an empty gray window with a cursor:
After in a few seconds my connection is lost with no message or something. What could be the reason?
Any help would be appreciated.
