Remote Desktop connect to Ubuntu in GCP

Question

To learn Linux on a virtual machine, I wish to establish a remote connection to a Google Cloud Linux instance. This will be the greatest choice since I use multiple different computers throughout the day.

It would be great if someone could assist me in setting up a link to Google Cloud.

Because Ubuntu is what all of my resources are now teaching me, I would prefer to utilize it.

Answer 1

The instructions below can be used to connect to an Ubuntu instance on Google Cloud using the RDP protocol on Windows (pro):

1. sudo apt update 
2. sudo apt install tasksel
3. sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop
4. sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
5. sudo passwd root // set root password, if you don't remember it
6. sudo apt install xrdp
7. sudo systemctl enable xrdp // This will start RDP service

Open Windows' Remote Desktop Connection now, enter your IP address and click Connect. To log in, use "root" as both the username and password.
