Best Answer

if you have installed xrdp, you should have te xrdp-genkeymap installed on your system. the utility will be located under /etc/xrdp folder

To change keyboard layout, you need indeed to issue the xrdp-genkeymap command. The command has to be run locally on the ubuntu machine and not from the xrdp session.
issue the following command to use us layout keyboard during your xrdp session sudo xrdp-genkeymap /etc/xrdp/km-0409.ini

If you need other language layout, you have to find the correct km-xxx.ini file

Hope this help Till next time see ya
