Installing RDP Server On Ubuntu 13.10

NOTE AFTER MANY HOURS of troubleshooting I have stumbled upon a fix for RDP server for Ubuntu 13.10. gnome-session-fallback does not work and displays the following screen. As of 11-22-13 xfce is the only desktop environment that works in RDP on Ubuntu 13.10

  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install xfce4
  • echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession

Now enter your credentials:
