this video works 100%. especially the blank screen issue got resolved, after following the status. all while enabling ufw in ubuntu ensure that all others ports are allowed, or else ssh or something else will stop working. keeping the ufw firewall disabled. and in inactive state also works for rdp. I am using this way. also install gnome desktop for ubuntu. it solved my rdp issues..
