I just tried to install XRDP on my in house Ubuntu Server and got the following. Not seen it before and not sure what to do. 

knoppysdev@knoppysdigitalserver:~$ sudo apt install xrdp

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-154-generic but it is not going to be installed or
                                linux-image-unsigned-4.4.0-154-generic but it is not going to be installed
                       Recommends: thermald but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I an sudo apt-get -f install and got the following:

The first thing you want to try is like the error message says

apt-get -f install

If this doesn't work, then we've got a bigger issue.

See this excellent post for more information.

So yes turned out boot was full. Plenty of space left on the server (2 TB). So I looked up the following which helped me out with my desktop setup a while back. https://gist.github.com/ipbastola/2760cfc28be62a5ee10036851c654600

Thanks everyone for all your help.
