Fixes #3230. The static `bus` global was only ever checked for non-NULL, not for whether the underlying connection was still alive. If ibus disconnected (daemon restart, stale socket) or the initial connect attempt failed, `bus` was left set to a dead/freed connection, so every later call to xrdp_input_unicode_init() took the "already initialized" fast path and operated on it. - Null out bus/g_engine in the "disconnected" signal handler instead of leaving them dangling after g_object_unref(). - Check ibus_bus_is_connected() before trusting a cached bus, and tear down + reconnect if it's stale. - Unref and clear bus on a failed connect attempt instead of leaving it set. - Guard the unrefs in xrdp_input_unicode_destroy() now that bus/ g_engine can legitimately already be NULL.
xrdp - an open source RDP server
Overview
xrdp provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp accepts connections from a variety of RDP clients:
- FreeRDP
- rdesktop
- KRDC
- NeutrinoRDP
- Windows MSTSC (Microsoft Terminal Services Client, aka
mstsc.exe) - Microsoft Remote Desktop (found on Microsoft Store, which is distinct from MSTSC)
Many of these work on some or all of Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and/or Android.
RDP transport is encrypted using TLS by default.
Features
Remote Desktop Access
- Connect to a Linux desktop using RDP from anywhere (requires xorgxrdp Xorg module)
- Reconnect to an existing session
- Session resizing (both on-connect and on-the-fly)
- RDP/VNC proxy (connect to another RDP/VNC server via xrdp)
Access to Remote Resources
- Two-way clipboard transfer (text, bitmap, file)
- Audio redirection (requires to build additional modules)
- Microphone redirection (requires to build additional modules)
- Drive redirection (mount local client drives on remote machine)
Supported Platforms
xrdp primarily targets GNU/Linux operating system. x86 (including x86-64) and ARM processors are most mature architecture to run xrdp on. See also Platform Support Tier.
Some components such as xorgxrdp and RemoteFX codec have special optimization for x86 using SIMD instructions. So running xrdp on x86 processors will get fully accelerated experience.
Quick Start
Most Linux distributions should distribute the latest release of xrdp in their repository. You would need xrdp and xorgxrdp packages for the best experience. It is recommended that xrdp depends on xorgxrdp, so it should be sufficient to install xrdp. If xorgxrdp is not provided, use Xvnc server.
xrdp listens on 3389/tcp. Make sure your firewall accepts connection to 3389/tcp from where you want to access.
Ubuntu / Debian
apt install xrdp
Fedora, RHEL and derivatives
If you're not running Fedora, make sure to enable EPEL packages first.
dnf install epel-release
(All systems) Install xrdp with:-
dnf install xrdp
Compiling
See also https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/wiki#building-from-sources
Prerequisites
To compile xrdp from the packaged sources, you need basic build tools - a compiler (gcc or clang) and the make program. Additionally, you would need openssl-devel, pam-devel, libX11-devel, libXfixes-devel, libXrandr-devel. More additional software would be needed depending on your configuration.
To compile xrdp from a checked out git repository, you would additionally need autoconf, automake, libtool and pkg-config.
Get the source and build it
If compiling from the packaged source, unpack the tarball and change to the resulting directory.
If compiling from a checked out repository, please make sure you've got the submodules
cloned too (use git clone --recursive https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp)
Then run following commands to compile and install xrdp:
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
If you want to use audio redirection, you need to build and install additional pulseaudio modules. The build instructions can be found at wiki.
