** Description changed: I am trying running unity under a multipass vm running on remote dedicated root server (24 core/64GB) on linode running 22.04 According to this guide a full dektop can be used: https://multipass.run/docs/set-up-a-graphical-interface which runs a full ubuntu-desktop. Multipass vm also initiated with 22.04. Nginx forwarding *:3389 to <multipass-vm-ip>:3389 Then from inside vm, 1. sudo adduser xrdpuser (#default ubuntu doesn't have passwd ) 2. sudo usermod -aG sudo xrdpuser && sudo usermod -aG tty xrdpuser && sudo usermod -aG video xrdpuser 3. sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop (Or minimal installation from ) - 4. Sudo apt install xrdp; sudo usermod -aG ssl-certs xrdp + 4. sudo apt install xrdp; sudo usermod -aG ssl-certs xrdp Unity install unity binary under /usr/share/xsessions which basically runs /usr/libexec/run-systemd-session unity-session.target 5. Edit /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh and comment out xsesion binary and put the above line #test -x /etc/X11/Xsession && exec /etc/X11/Xsession #exec /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession #xfce4-session /usr/libexec/run-systemd-session unity-session.target 6. sudo systemctl restart xrdp && sudo systemctl restart xrdp- sesman.service 7. Now when connecting from remmina I get following errors: Full Log: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/R2fyGq4VRv/ Interesting parts /bin/sh: 1: initctl: not found which I think is this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/2002978 Then We get errors like unity-settings-daemon[4467]: Unable to initialize GTK+ compiz-profile-selector[4516]: Error: unable to open display. (Compix uses unity-lowgfx and tries to start but still fails due missing display.) Xrdp however succesfully connecting display 10 as per above log.
