Getting started after deploying Xubuntu¶

A notification will be sent to the e-mail specified during registration that the server is ready for work after paying for the order. It will contain the IP address of the VPS, as well as the login and password for the connection. Clients of our company manage the hardware in the server`s and API control panel — Invapi.

Here is the data for authorization:

• Password in a letter to your e-mail upon receipt of the server.

To access the Xubuntu GUI, go to Info >> Console and IPMI Access tab and enable the console (either the HTML5 console or the VNC console - click Open HTML5 console or Launch VNC console button).

Setting up an RDP connection via the command line¶

When trying to connect to a Xubuntu server via RDP, an error is displayed:

.

This error is usually caused by a missing or misconfigured RDP server on Xubuntu. To fix the problem, you can configure an RDP connection via the command line.

1. Connect to the server via SSH:

   ssh root@<server_ip>
   

2. Install xrdp:

   apt install xrdp
   

   This step is optional, as xrdp is usually already installed.

3. configure xrdp to work with Xfce. Create a ~/.xsession file

   nano ~/.xsession
   

   And add the following entry to it:

   xfce4-session

4. Restart the xrdp service:

   sudo systemctl restart xrdp
   

After performing these steps, users will be able to connect to the server via RDP.
