If you encounter lag issues while using XRDP on Ubuntu, you can try the following solutions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Upgrading XRDP version: Updating to the latest version of XRDP may fix some performance issues. You can upgrade XRDP by updating the software package.<\/li>\n
  2. Adjusting the configuration of XRDP: Attempt to modify the XRDP configuration file to optimize performance. You can edit the \/etc\/xrdp\/xrdp.ini file and adjust max_bpp=32 to a lower value, for example max_bpp=16, this can reduce the color depth being transmitted, thereby improving performance. You can also try changing use_compression=yes to no, to disable compression.<\/li>\n
  3. Adjusting the configuration of Xorg: Modifying the Xorg configuration can enhance the performance of XRDP. You can edit the \/etc\/X11\/xorg.conf file and add the following content:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Section \"Screen\"\r\n    Option \"AllowSHMPixmaps\" \"off\"\r\nEndSection\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    This will disable the use of shared memory, thus improving performance.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Turn off unnecessary graphic effects: Disabling some useless graphic effects can also improve the performance of XRDP. You can disable some visual effects, such as animations and opacity, in Ubuntu’s system settings.<\/li>\n
    2. Adjust system resources: Ensure that the system has enough resources for XRDP to use. Other resource-intensive programs like browsers and video players can be closed.<\/li>\n
    3. Try using other remote desktop protocols, such as VNC or Nomachine, if the above method doesn’t work. These protocols may offer better performance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      By trying the above methods, you should be able to resolve the lagging issue when using XRDP on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
