XFCE and xrdp run in the gui container, not on the Ubuntu host session.

Connect

Item	Value
User	sysop
Session	Xorg
Password	SSM /seiscomp-containers-lab/sysop-rdp-password
Port	TCP 3389 from your /32

export AWS_PROFILE=sandbox AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-southeast-2

lab-up.sh prints the Elastic IP. In Remote Desktop, pick session Xorg and accept the certificate warning.

If your public IP changed, 3389 will time out until you add a security group rule for the new /32.

On the desktop

1. Terminal: /home/sysop/bin/sc-toast-event "test toast" — notification titled SeisComP (top-right). Needs xfce4-notifyd in this RDP session; SSM cannot show it.
2. scrttv — live BH for the four GE stations.
3. scmm — scmaster plus processor clients.
4. Optional: scmv, scheli, scqcv.

Launchers are written at image build (docker/gui/write-launchers.sh) and call /home/sysop/bin/sc-launch.

What stays quiet

Real earthquake toasts need picks and an event. Four GEOFON stations are often quiet. The scripted toast is the desktop proof. scolv stays empty until there is an event.
