Can I simply make the XRDP user have regular permissions? To me this logic seems ok, until I think that "well, then how did it write the file in the original place?" I think i'm going to try starting all over again and creating the swap drive and seeing if that fixes things. I might have to...

Hi, I have gone from version 18 to 20 and back and forth many times... These are these two links for each version https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-xrdp-on-ubuntu-20-04/ https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-xrdp-on-ubuntu-18-04/ Right now I am back on version 18 and this time I...

That would be sweet! There's not much info trying to search google for this problem... Please see post #13 for the full command line list to type. Then use windows to open "remote desktop" using session "Xorg" and username "xrdp" and connect in... put a file on the desktop and reboot to...

No.. this one i'm testing on is for the Google Compute Instance. I installed Chrome using this command line: wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >>...

Hmm,, I wish I could say that? I have tried spining up many boxes and running these commands and they all do the same thing. Basically typing sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop sudo apt install xrdp sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert sudo systemctl restart...

Ok, I was able to create the swap drive (I need to increase to 4 GB as you suggested) that I hope resolve the computer from just stalling. I will best investigating more into the swap drive later today. My free -h now says free -h total used free shared...

Ahh thanks! I think maybe I am confusing "swap" with "tmpfs"? Or because maybe I have none setup? I will investigate swap drives more and get this installed and post back here soon with updates on what is happening. I will also investigate for hidden files.. (I did not know linux had this)...

Yes, of course! I really am not sure which direction to go here... I can't seem to find anything in the logs... ls -la /etc/skel total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 10 10:36 . drwxr-xr-x 153 root root 12288 Jul 10 08:48 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220 Apr 4 2018 .bash_logout...

Hi, I am new to UBUNTU / Linux and having two strange issues when using the desktop version for ubuntu... One issue is similar to the accepted solution to https://www.linux.org/threads/desktop-settings-reset-every-login-or-restart-solved.33127/ Except... I don't seem to have the files in the...

Hi, ok Thanks. I was trying to not start "lots of threads". I will try to start a new thread here soon. Thanks!

Hi, I am new to UBUNTU and Linux and having the same issue. I don't seem to have the files in the /etc/skel/ directory "it's empty". I am using Ubuntu 18.04. LTS. Here is my df -h udev 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 2.0G 1.3G 767M 62% /run /dev/sda1 20G...
