Thanks for this, I use xrdp to connect to my raspberry pi's and it is a great tool. I'm thankful I discovered your channel yesterday. Great work mate, I look forward to other great hints
Definitely cool. I might not use it for my FreeBSD installations. But I definitely could use it at work with my remote Linux VMs that need a GUI. Thanks
So, I have xrdp up and running using GhostBSD and Mate loads up perfectly. However, when I try doing a command like "sudo pkg search barrier" inside a terminal, I get the following message: "sudo: pkg: command not found" Running this same command inside Putty (ssh) or on the GhostBSD laptop itself works fine, so I know it has something to do with the configuration of xrdp. Do you have any suggestions of what I might have missed?
Thanks for nice video. Alll sorted. Is it possible to use rdp to connect to an existing (ie already running) desktop session, rather than stating a whole new KDE/plasma session ?
Great video... Thanks very much! No problems with the setup itself. That part worked perfectly! The one problem I do have though is that I am unable to paste a file into my remote system (i.e. right-click copy a file from my local windows system file manager and paste into the remote Dolphin file manager). I always get an error saying that "The file or folder /test.jpg does not exist". Note that I'm not attempting to drop the file in the root directory as the error indicates, but instead into /home/TestFolder (as an example). Also, it doesn't matter which file type I try, they also fail. I can copy in the other direction (from the FreeBSD system to my Windows system) with no problems. Any suggestions on what would cause this? This is a recently installed FreeBSD system that is otherwise working fine.
Figured it out! 1. Install newest verison of xrdp from ports (/usr/ports/net/xrdp-devel), make config with drive redirection enabled. 2. Install fusefs-smbnetfs, remember to add entries to rc.conf and sysctl.conf. 3. Remember to enable drive redirection in your RDP client.
Love it, keep it and looking forward to more awesome hints, specifically FreeBSD or other BSD's. 😀

Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy :)
Thanks. Like you said, wish I knew about this years ago.
It also works the other way round. Manage many Windows servers remotely from X sessions on a FreeBSD box.
Thank you Gary! I'm looking forward to doing this ASAP! Your videos are very useful.
Your welcome, was it you that asked for this?
@@GaryHTech Yes about a month ago I did ask for this. Thanks again!
Ok, cool, hope this helps, hopefully by showing my mistakes you can also see the pitfalls and avoid them :)
@@GaryHTech I need to look at your previous videos to see how to install KDE/plasma prior to the XRDP install.
Yeah, I've not done one for that yet, but will soon :)
very nice :-) I do not know if I would need it, but good to know :-) Thanks!! Norbert

Most welcome, thanks for watching :)

Thank you for your great content. I got it working on 12.2 in a jail, but I can't get client drive redirection working, any ideas?
Does anyone have drive redirection working?
Figured it out!
1. Install newest verison of xrdp from ports (/usr/ports/net/xrdp-devel), make config with drive redirection enabled.
2. Install fusefs-smbnetfs, remember to add entries to rc.conf and sysctl.conf.
3. Remember to enable drive redirection in your RDP client.
Is there a story how you ended up with pico(1)?
It seems everyone today either uses vi, vim, emacs or nano :D
No not really, just the one I started using back in the day :)
cool!
Who would have thunk the performance would be so acceptable...

Post your videos to Odysee too. cheers!
Hi Tom, I won't be uploading to other platforms I am afraid. Thanks for watching though :)
