| - All modern ubuntu desktops (Unity, KDE, Gnome) are not usable with X11RDP, because they needshardware accellerated 3D support, but the old 2D desktops have Lubuntu (LXDE) or Xubuntu (XFCE).Only Lubuntu is supported with WUBI, but have some problems with X11RDP. With some tricks youcan install Xubuntu with WUBI and use it with coLinux and X11RDP, which is the best combination.Because the Xubuntu with WUBI installed and with coLinux started cannot use the swap.disk image file,which WUBI have created, you must create a swap file inside the mounted root.disk image file,which WUBI have created, too.

| - All modern ubuntu desktops (Unity, KDE, Gnome) are not usable with X11RDP, because they needshardware accellerated 3D support, but the old 2D desktops have Lubuntu (LXDE) or Xubuntu (XFCE).Only Lubuntu is supported with WUBI, but have some problems with X11RDP. With some tricks youcan install Xubuntu with WUBI and use it with coLinux and X11RDP, which is the best combination.Because the Xubuntu with WUBI installed and with coLinux started cannot use the swap.disk image file,which WUBI have created, you must create a swap file inside the mounted root.disk image file,which WUBI have created, too. 1.
* Download the PC (Intel x86) desktop image iso-files for Lubuntu 14.04 and Xubuntu 14.04from Ubuntu Releases into different directories. 2.
* Extract (with WinRar, WinZip or so) the wubi.exe from the Lubuntu iso-file andthe initrd.lz and vmlinuz files from the Xubuntu iso-file (at the \casper\ folder of the iso-file). 3.
* Make sure wubi.exe and the Lubuntu iso-file are in the same folder.Start wubi (with the parameter --32bit if you have a 64bit CPU) and select to install Lubuntu.When it's finished, select "Reboot later". 4.
* Replace the installation.iso at your wubi installation directory (e.g. at C:\ubuntu\install\) withthe Xubuntu iso-file renamed to installation.iso. 5.
* Copy the extracted initrd.lz and vmlinuz files over the one at your WUBI installation directory(e.g. the C:\ubuntu\boot\) and reboot the computer, so that Xubuntu will be installed with WUBIinstead the selected Lubuntu. 6.
* WUBI installation with Ubuntu 14.04 have a bug, so the Dual-Boot of the WUBI installed Ubuntuwill not boot and complains it could not mount the root system.To overcome this bug, you must edit the Grub boot-entry and change the line with:linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxx loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro rootflags=sync quiet splash $vt_handofftolinux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxx loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk rw rootflags=sync quiet splash $vt_handoff.Just you can Dual-Boot the WUBI installed Xubuntu and updates it. But remember, you mustedit the Grub boot-entry all the time if you Dual-Boot the system to Xubuntu or you mustedit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file at Xubuntu. 7.
* Compile and install XRDP/X11RDP with the X11RDP-o-Matic scripts (many thanksKevin Cave for that). Open a terminal and run the commands:sudo apt-get install gitgit clone 8.
* At the terminal change to the directory with the cloned files (cd X11RDP-o-Matic)and run the command:sudo ./X11rdp-o-matic.sh --justdoitThis will download, utilize all cpu cores for compilation, compile, install, and configure X11rdpand xrdp automatically from start to finish. Wait some time. 9.
* Next run the command:sudo ./RDPsesconfig.shto configure the RDP sessions to use Xubuntu/XFCE for all users. 10.
* Edit as root user the /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini file, andchange the standard RDP port from 3389 into 3390. 11.
* Edit as root the /etc/rc.local file and add a line with:stop rsyslogbefore the line with exit 0, because rsyslog gives high cpu load under coLinux. 12.
* Create a swapfile of 1Gbyte at the root system with the terminal commands:sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfilesudo chmod 600 /swapfilesudo mkswap /swapfile 13.
* Edit as root user the /etc/fstab file and change the line/host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk none swap loop,sw 0 0into/swapfile none swap sw 0 0so that the newly created swapfile at the root-system will be used as swapspace each time. 14.
* Install coLinux with the slirp connection, but without downloading a coLinux imageand build a config file for coLinux as:kernel=vmlinuxmem=512cobd0=c:\ubuntu\disksoot.diskroot=/dev/cobd0 noplymouth texteth0=slirp,02:FF:75:39:D3:C1,tcp:3390:3390The drive and path (c:\ubuntu\disks) points to the WUBI installed disk images.The boot paramter noplymouth and text are important to start Ubuntu with coLinux. 15.
* Just you can install the coLinux driver and start coLinux with the coLinux config file. 16.
* Run the Microsoft Remote-Desktop-Connection (mstsc.exe) and use as the computername/address the 127.0.0.2:3390 IP-address with the RDP port, the Ubuntu user nameas user/login name and the Ubuntu user password for the RDP-connection. Because the slirp connection is not performant, you should change the coLinux configuration to usea local network connection, e.g. ndis-bridge or tap. That's all to get a with WUBI installed dual-bootable Ubuntu installation running with coLinux.You can use both to run Ubuntu, dual-booting or coLinux with the same disk images!
