Native HTML5 session using RDP to Linux Ubuntu Desktop

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!

M

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