Hello, hehuan2112:

I have setup XRDP enviroment on my Ubuntu 18.04 successfully, however the speed is very very slow.
When I open an application or open a file, I have to wait for many seconds to starty my job.
I can do my job fluently if using SSH terminal.
So how do you resolve this problem ?

sudo service xrdp restart 命令无法执行，提示如下：
Failed to restart xrdp.service: Unit xrdp.service not found.

'service' command is older, on Ubuntu 18.04 you can type command 'sudo systemctl start xrdp'

Worked for me. Thank you!

How to know the user and password to connect ??

Step 5 - Testing
On Windows PC, use mstsc to connect to the ubuntu server

Well, you can use your username and password on the ubuntu server. The username is the name when you login to the ubuntu server. And the password... well each user in the server has a password definitely.

I have the same issue when I try to access my server via the XRDP from a remote machine.
And... I gave up and force myself to use SSH. >_<|||
The SSH is always a fluent way for connecting remotely.
I'm sorry for this solution.

As zero-cao said, use 'sudo systemctl start xrdp' on Ubuntu 18.04 instead will work.

Thanks!

apt-get install xrdp
apt-get install xorgxrdp
adduser xrdp ssl-cert
apt-get install xfce4 xfce4terminal

these for headless debian based linux. I used them on Openmediavault, It worked.
