I have running instance on AWS EC2 where I have installed Ubuntu server 14.04. Here I want to access it using GUI for that I am following this tutorial: youtube link for GUI Ubuntu Server

I am entering these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lxde
sudo start lxdm
sudo apt-get install xrdp
sudo passwd ubuntu

But here I am unable to access the GUI as in this tutorial, they are using windows but I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I can see a remmina remote desktop client but it is not connecting. I need help with this.

I am not sure about LXDE as I have no experience with it. However, if the goal is simply to get a GUI then you can probably achieve it easier by using Gnome. You can also use VNC over SSH for remote desktop capabilities.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

Refer to the following article if you need help with that.

install gnome-shell on ubuntu 16.04
