All these test activity I am carrying out on my AWS instance for my test purposes.
I am bit of new Linux playground and I needed your guys expertise for configuring it. I am trying to install & configuring SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3 (HVM), SSD Volume Type on AWS & stuck up. So need your help. Actually I am trying to configure XRDP on the AWS instance.
Previously : All these options were pretty simple & straight forward on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4 (HVM), SSD Volume Type. Can anybody please through some light on this !! how to configure Linux instance so that I can continue with the installation of SAP B1 9.3.
Current Issue : Getting the logging screen & then everything is blank, I can do anything on the screen. No UI nothing, Even I tried setting the display to 16-bit or 24-bit only but no success.
So let me know your thoughts or suggest some document which explains how to configure Linux 12 for XRDP.
I cannot be of much help regarding XRDP (gave it a try on a different platform and then put it on my personal blacklist, since I have X11 on all my clients), but since you ask for “thoughts” as well: I definitely avoid running X servers on our server systems, but use ssh connects instead. Much more easier to handle, less network demands, and if you’re trying to use YaST2, it’ll run without X, too.
If you absolutely need X11 tools, tunnel X11 through the ssh session and use some local X11 server. Easy on Linux clients, and available for those other platforms, too
But keep in mind: That’s my opinion, nothing more.
I have not done so with an AWS instance, but I have setup xrdp on SLES and
openSUSE many times in the past and it was pretty easy. My notes for
doing so on SLES 12 SP2 (or later hopefully) follow:
zypper in xrdp
systemctl enable xrdp
systemctl start xrdp
#Configure Yast (firewall) to allow access to TCP 3389, if not forwarding
to that port via SSH as I do which is more secure:
yast firewall
That’s about it, at least for me in the past with SLES 12.

Good luck.

Below are the steps I performed & it will be helpful for them who stumble upon the same issue.
zypper update ( to update SUSE Linux Ent. Server)
zypper install -t pattern gnome-basic
zypper install xrdp
Enable VNC Remote Login
Open yast, Select “Network Services”, Select first entry “Remote Administration with VNC”
Enable service
Configure Window Manager to use Gnome
Edit file /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager
Change entry DEFAULT_WM="" to DEFAULT_WM="gnome
Startup the RDP service and make it start automatically after Reboot
service xrdp start
chkconfig --set xrdp on
systemctl start xrdp
systemctl enable xrdp
Above are the steps which I performed to get the activate & use RDP session through my windows, If in-case anybody have any question let me know I will be happy to assist you.
Great information; the details you provided, and the comments with the
commands in particular, will likely help others, so thank-you for thinking
about that.
