How to Create an Ubuntu 22.04 VPS with GUI Desktop on Contabo using RDP - Step-by-Step Tutorial

[@ericpereira3211]

Man, after 1 year, your video was the only one that helped me, I send a shout out to Brazil

[@Boxels]

One of the best detailed tuts out there. Thank you!

[@cloud-tech]

You're very welcome!

[@CROISSANT01]

Excellent video, I have zero experience with any VPS and your video helped understand EVERYTHING I needed. Greatest video I could find, thanks :)

[@cloud-tech]

Great to hear!

[@mumomutisya4923]

The best tutorial for setting up Ubuntu. Simple, clear, works. Excellent work! Thanks.

[@smudgepost]

Thank you. One of the first examples that worked for me. I followed every step and even used Contabo! Only issue I had on my host (also Ubuntu) is I had to repeat the ufw allow rules or my rdp wouldn't connect.

[@miguelcalderon3549]

i am a computer dummy, but whit this video, i got my ubuntu server Running like a charm, Thakn you, brother

[@trile2864]

i tried different tutorial on youtube. ONLY YOURS WORK. MANY MANY THANKS BROTHER !

[@cloud-tech]

Glad I could help

[@estebanrosal5638]

for anyone asking... the videos works, you just gotta follow step by step. IMPORTANT: you must do it with an Contabo VPS; I've tried in many different VPS from other companies and it didnt work. FYI.

[@Ajithjoseph]

One of the best tutorial. Thanks for the video.

[@Truth2One]

It didn't work for me. I still can't connect. It seems that there are option son the VPS that need to be edited in order to allow me to connect apparently? idk I keep getting errors like codex 0x1104 and also the three reasons why it might not be connecting

[@hatsvids]

Did you found a solution? I'm also getting an error when trying to enter via Remote Desktop (Because of a protocol error detected at the client (code 0x1104), this session will be disconnected.)

[@sumbulrizvi]

i get an xrdp login screen with teal background when connecting via remote connection on windows, after entering my password the screen changes to black and after that nothing happens

[@savefilm4003]

Yes, me too

[@alpha-tsx]

I have no words. Thanks many, many times for what you did. Just perfect!

[@PeterEkwere-dj5kq]

nice

[@user-if5to9hz1t]

Awesome, it work for me !!!! you save me a lot of time, many thank, i was new in ubuntu and i spend many hours to try install xrdp and ubuntu-desktop on vps and left bar still not work, your tutorial is great

[@cloud-tech]

Glad it helped

[@realrelaxingsounds]

it worked 100% thank you, but its very slow what ever im doing i need to wait a couple of seconds, any help?

[@Mihaita191]

Did you manage to find a solution for this?

[@calmifyer9641]

THE BEST! Thank you for the excellent tutorial!! Question: I use a Mac, but I did not want to download and use microsoft RDP to connect to VPS because I thought it required port 3389 to remain open while it's in use. Does changing the ports as you did in this video solve this problem? Or will port 3389 (and 22??) still be open by using Microsoft RDP to connect my mac to the VPS? (apologies if this is a stupid question, I'm a tech noob)

[@davidknight558]

Great video and tips. Worked great for me. * 1 issue though -- periodic software updates requires the PC to reboot, which I do from the VPS. After that I'm locked out and cannot access RDC or even get the login screen to appear in putty with root or xrdpuser. Is there a workaround for this?

[@tomgrow2950]

Great tutorial! I installed it successfully & can log in using RDP I have an issue with the speed accessing my remote server it takes a lot of time to access any file or open browser in my remote server though my ISP connection is too fast Thanks

Thank You - this is a Worldclass Video

[@SteveVickAK]

Thanks for posting this. I would have prefered chrome instead of firefox, but maybe that is not possible. THis is like a foreign language, so thanks for the help. I am only half way through, so not even sure this will even work in the end. Thanks again.

[@fecoxa]

Really really really thanks

[@LebedevIV]

[@healthylifestyle1923]

I have a Protocol error in connecting to server

[@arjandevrieze9278]

It works 100%, but on my windows the RDP is very slow? Is there any option to speed this up, i set it to 10MB or higher. But i have to wait seconds to go. Hope there is an option. Is there also an option to connnect form Cortabo with VNC directly to the desktop gnome?

[@Mihaita191]

Did you manage to find a solution for this?

[@SlapBraceletLofi]

same issue here, RDP is very slow

[@seyf633]

[@Defi_OwLL]

I've exatcly follwed the steps but the problems mentioned at 8:36 won't be fixed for me. Activities bar stay hidden and appears at bottom, Firefox won't show up :-/

[@HeadshooterGTAS]

after rebooting at each step, ,it's the step 10 which makes thing not working. unfortunately it doesn't work either when connecting with port 22 i have error 0x1104 as some others here

[@fluffingfluff]

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you , I cant say that enough!!! How next time please don't add any background music, it's very annoying, just a suggestion tho. Have a great day friend!

[@MQLWorld]

Really thanks!!

[@Freshiz325]

Your videos are great, thank you! But do something about your sound mix bro. Blasting the music between speaking is brutal. Just some friendly feedback.

This one is actually really good to follow as im not a experienced linux user yet, BUT the side menu is still not there and i see it like you explained in the video with the menu bar in the bottom and actions in the top. is there a way to fix this after the setup?

Did you find a solution?

[@Hay-usa]

@Cloud Tech How can we get the sound from this system? Googeled and no standard worked at the end. The system allways showes a dummy sound output in the options. It would be super helpe full to have a solution aka video about that.

[@filipelucena1696]

Hi ,sorry if it is a stupid question. If I do this, will I be able to run extensions on browsers I install on this machine, 24/7? Without having my own pc on? If so, how can I leave the desktop app without closing the session?

[@masterkiller87]

Does this manual still work? I'm stuck on the command: "chmod +x xrdp-installer-1.4.sh && ./xrdp-installer-1.4.sh" I do everything as in the video and when I paste this command it pops up an error: "Detecting xserver-xorg-core package installed Error checking xserver-xorg-core flavour"

[@masterkiller87]

Okay.. all you had to do was update. "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade "

Does this command work for all Ubuntu VPs or this particular site VPs?

[@TheInstitution]

[@kalyptos]

Greate videos. Do you think you could make a contabo windows 10 ltsc isntallation or windows 11?

[@cloud-tech]

The licensing for Window 10 and Windows 11 is quite restrictive and complex. In fact you will probably have noticed even for Windows server i stick to the freely available Evaluation versions, that Microsoft allow you to download freely from their website, and even then only look at deploying them to VPS providers that sell full copies of windows server so you can always upgrade to them if you need to. Plus it ensures that their infrastructure deals fully with windows server. That way I always aim to stay within any licensing complications from BOTH Microsoft and any VPS provider. In the early days of this channel i did show you how to build & deploy both Windows 10 and Windows 11 but i removed those videos when i found out they may infringe the licensing for those products. ========================================================== ## If you are looking for a particular video try, ## 1) Channel : cloudtechlinks.com/YTChannel ## 2) then : cloudtechlinks.com/All-Videos ======================================================

I am trying to connect using RDP from my mac but I am unable to RDP connect. I've tried switching gateway and all but I think it has something to do with the port. I added the port in the same format as the video but not sure if its the same for macs. please advise if you can.

This is extremely slow if you install this on a d4asv5 vm in azure using their Ubuntu 22 server image. It's pretty much unusable. :/ Wish I knew a way to really speed this up. This vm can run windows server fast.
