Share Clipboard Between Ubuntu and Windows Remote Desktop

I am trying to copy paste text between Windows Remote Desktop and Linux Ubuntu Server LTS 14.04 with Mate Desktop.



I have seen several posts that mention killing the rdpclip.exe process (on Windows) and restarting it. I can only imagine this pertains to an old version since rdpclip.exe isn't even running and I can copy paste between Windows machines just fine. However to test the idea, I started the rdpclip.exe program but this did not have any effect.



I also made sure that the clipboard is checked for my remote desktop connection.



In case it's relevant, I setup remote desktop by first installing the Mate 2D Desktop and then installing XRDP.



I am using Windows 8.1 64-bit.

          If it's not running in the first place, did you check under..



          HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlTerminal ServerWdsrdpwd


          ..if the following entry of Type REG_SZ is present or missing?



          „StartupPrograms“=“rdpclip“
