Next, install Vino and XRDP with the following command:

[globals]

max_bpp=24

[xrdp1]
name=Vino
lib=libvnc.so
ip=127.0.0.1
port=5900
username=ask
password=ask

If you want the XRDP service starts automatically, add the services to the default runlevel:

rc-update add xrdp rc-update add xrdp-sesman rc-update add vino

To start:

rc-service xrdp start rc-service xrdp-sesman start rc-service vino start
