    First thing you can't RDP into Linux servers unless you installed Xrdp and configured it if its true then check all the config you done previously

  • @simonindia installed Xrdp and I was working with it in the old version of ubuntu 12.04.

    Now the problem happend in upgrading. If there is no solution please tell how to reinstall or delete this ubuntu to install it again.

    I don't use Xrdp my friend if your ok with VNC then follow this one https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-14-04

    At your VPS control panel, if you have one. Otherwise open a ticket with your host.

  • @neps don't have the option to change OS in my control panel, is there no way to do with with SSH command?

    You must contact your provider then. Please note reinstalling will remove all your files and configuration from the VPS.

  • Try removing xrdp and then doing a reinstall.

    But this full force.

    The packages are changed or don't work completely in 14.04

    I had this issue as well.

    Reinstall and re set up to test.

  • What kernel are you currently running? There was a recent (Friday?) update which fixed a bit of an issue with virtual displays. I don't know if it goes back to 14.04 but it will affect you if using back ported kernel. Worth another apt-get update/upgrade before you do anything too drastic :)
