Remote Desktop Protocol App for linux

Remmina can be used for RDP connections to windows computers using RDP as well as VNC SSH and others


To user also need to install xrdp and tightvnc:

  • sudo apt install xrdp xorgxrdp -y
  • echo env -u SESSION_MANAGER -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS cinnamon-session>~/.xsession

Other newer option is xserver-xorg-core


Swap File

Check size of swap file:

  • swapon -s

increase swap file to 8GB:

  • sudo swapoff -a #turn off swap file
  • sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=8192 #set size of blocks for swap file
  • sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile #Assign it read/write permissions for root only
  • sudo mkswap /swapfile #Format the file as swap
  • sudo swapon -a #enable swap file - will also be activated on next reboot without this command


Alternate commands to make 8GB swap file

  • sudo swapoff /swapfile
  • sudo rm /swapfile
  • sudo fallocate -l 8G /swapfile
