Install LXDE+XRDP under Ubuntu to achieve remote desktop access and use it to flash PT

Linux servers generally do not have a desktop environment. Now that the performance of both servers and VPS is constantly improving, it is quite good to install a desktop environment that takes up less resources.

Especially for the server I use for PT, if I install a simple desktop environment and then install the desktop version of qBittorrent, I can use the complete qBittorrent software functions, which is much more comfortable than using WebUI.

For the desktop environment, choose LXDE used by Lubuntu, which is compact, simple and practical. For remote access, use XRDP, which is more convenient than VNC and can be accessed directly using the remote access tool that comes with Windows.

For the convenience of management, MultiDesk is used locally, download address: Cloud disk download

The installation begins below, based on the Ubuntu 16.04 environment. Other environments are similar.

1. Install an LXDE environment without recommended software

apt-get install –no-install-recommends lxde

2. Install XRDP

apt-get install xrdp

3. Delete the redundant and unusable xterm in LXDE

apt-get purge xterm

Now you can remotely access the server under Windows. The account and password are the same as those for SSH.

Since the desktop environment is installed, it is more comfortable to install it in Chinese and easier to operate.

4. Install Chinese language pack

apt-get install language-pack-zh-hans

5. Install fonts

apt-get install fonts-arphic-bkai00mp fonts-arphic-bsmi00lp fonts-arphic-gbsn00lp fonts-arphic-ukai

6. Change the default language

dpkg-reconfigure locales

After the command is executed, the interactive interface is entered. Use the up and down arrows to move in a single line, use PageUp and PageDown to turn pages, and use the space bar to select.

Select en_US.UTF-8 and zh_CN.UTF-8 and press Enter.

Select zh_CN.UTF-8 again and press Enter

Now all the installation work has been completed. Next, you can install the software. You can click here to view the installation of PT software:

After logging in using MultiDesk, it is shown in the figure below.

It should be noted that when using MultiDesk, the bit color of the image must be set to more than 15, otherwise some software will not display properly. If the network is smooth, it is recommended to set it to 32-bit color.
