Install Xrdp on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

 


This page has a nice workaround to try with a black screen on XRDP.  Need to figure out how it works, but nice to have it.


Edit /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh

Add these lines just before the lines that test & execute Xsession as shown in the screenshot below.

unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

restart Xrdp
systemctl restart xrdp

retry remote login.

Shell in a box on the raspberry pi

Raspian's Debian distribution repositories contain the shell in a box distribution.

sudo apt-get -y install shellinabox

will install the package.

access it via

https://<ip or name>:4200/

unless the port is configured to other port.  Since this is intended for remote management, the access to the demon is via encrypted https connection.  There are topics about  configuring this for non encrypted access, but one might as well do telnet if that is turned off.

Tagged with ssh as it is a similar access method if configured with encrypted shell access.

Here is a discussion:

good page on configuring shell in a box:  Local only, different port, etc.

windows 10 miracast remote display on other device


maybe able to use the laptop as a remote display for the compute stick.  Not much different than using RDP, but it would remote the actual desktop if it works, not the remote connect, which would allow a reboot rather than a disconnect on the power button.

Viewing Foscam FI9803P stream with VLC



Use VLC stream viewing to view cameras:  how to construct URLs

Model FI9803P camera

http://foscam.us/media/mconnect_uploadfiles/f/i/fi9803p%20user%20manual.pdf

2.4 Using the VLC player This camera supports RTSP streaming, here you can
view the camera using VLC player.
RTSP URL
rtsp:// [user name][:password]@IP: RTSP port number/videosream

The part in the square bracket s may be omitted.  user name & password:
The user name and password to access the camera.
This part can be omitted.
IP: WAN or LAN IP address.
Videostream: Here support some mode .
When the network speed is bad, here you had better select videoSub.
For example: IP: 192.168.1.11
RTSP Port number : 554
User name : admin
Password : 123
Here I can enter one of the following URLs in the VLC.
1) rtsp://admin: 123 @192.168.1.11: 554 /videoMain
2) rtsp:// @192.168.1.11: 554 /videoMain
3) rtsp://: 123 @192.168.1.11: 554 /videoMain
4) rtsp://admin@192.168.1.11: 554 /videoMain

Open the VLC, and go to Media  Open Network Stream option, then enter the
URL into VLC

Shortcuts:

Create windows shortcut by copying the VLC shortcut, and add it to the "target:" field
of the shortcut

On linux create a shortcut on the desktop by whatever means and add the rstp URL
to the target address as well.

A couple of good vnc setup pages for Linux Ubuntu


For VNC remote desktop access via vnc server.  Most times now use xvnc and microsoft remote desktop client everywhere with windows desktop.

And remmina for remotes on ubuntu / linux desktops.  Remmina will access these desktops.  microsoft rdp will not.
