Solution

  • Connect via ssh to your Linux server and do the following in cli:

    sudo passwd root (put password for your username that you want to connect from)

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (to install your GUI)

    sudo apt-get install xrdp (to install the middleware to connect through)

    open port on your cloud/host portal for remote connection (port 3389)

    Do your remote desktop to your vm dns using that port and use ur created username/password to go through.
