MULTIPASS PLUGIN HOW TO

There, we enter the virtual machine’s IP address (which can be found by issuing the command ip addr on the guest), set the session to XOrg and enter the username and password we created on the previuos step. And we are done on the server side.įor the client, we can use on Windows the “Remote Desktop Connection” application. We will be asked to enter and re-enter a password. One possibility is to set a password to the default ubuntu user. Then, we need a user with a password in order to log in.

For this, we must log in to the running Multipass instance first, doing multipass shell headbanging-squidĪnd, once inside the instance, sudo apt update For this reason, a desktop environment must be installed (we use ubuntu-desktop but there are as many other options as flavors of Ubuntu exist), along with the RDP server (we will use here xrdp but there are also other options such as freerdp). The images used by Multipass do not come with a graphical desktop installed. Other methods include VNC, plain X11 forwarding (described here) and running a Mir shell through X11 forwarding (as described here). We describe here the simplest one, RDP (Remote Display Protocol). Graphical desktop can be viewed in various ways.
