Improve XRPD performance?

[asimov-solensan]

This was a use case I needed the Pyra for.

Sadly I installed XRDP and performance is so bad that is unusable for me. The desktop loads but it just works too slow to be usable.

Is there something I can configure manually to fix it?

maybe it's using opengl? did you tried launching it with gl4es?

Also wonder if it may benefit compiling from source vs just the normal repo version?

What is the server, the client ?
Why not freerdp or a vnc ? Or a xhost in case of *NIX ?

What are your connection parameters ?

X2go worked well on my prototype some time ago

It seems you are not alone in this: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=xrdp+slow&t=newext&atb=v246-1&ia=web


Was this your procedure?

sudo apt update

sudo apt install xrdp xubuntu-desktop

Once the above packages are installed:

- Edit /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and under the section [Xorg] add the following:

autorun=session_name


Under the user you want to login as, run:

sudo echo xfce4-session > /home/$USER/.xsession

(assuming Pyra has xfce4)


Suggestions from others: Try nomachine (it's free).

How do I do this? It certainly seems to be the graphics that lack all kind of acceleration.

The client is a windows machine where I cannot add software. XRDP seems to best option with this restriction.

try

gl4es xrdp

from a command line?

It doesn't get any better. It seems to be a cpu constrain because although the usage is low it reaches 100% for almost any action I do. Scrolling in the file browser for instance is a pain.

Anyhow let's see if this gets better.
