How to allow remote RDP client to connect

[satimis]

Hi folks,

xrdp
gnome
ubuntu 9.10

I have xrdp installed running on the PC. Please advise how to allow remote Linux PC to connect Ubuntu 9.10? TIA

Do I need to install;
libcurl4-openssl-dev
libpam0g-dev
vnc4server

Hi coopstah13,

Thanks for your thread.

I followed;
Xrdp, installing
Xrdp, installing - Ubuntuwiki.net

to get xrdp to start. But I can't control the window size, always full screen. the flag "-g 1024x768" didn't work.

Warning: remote desktop changed from 840x525 to 1920x1080.

Any advice? TIA

No clue, I much prefer NX to all other remote desktop solutions pertaining to linux.

Hi,

Whether you meant;

Nomachine
NoMachine NX - Desktop Virtualization and Remote Access Management Software


It is not on Ubuntu 9.10 repo

$ apt-cache policy nx

W: Unable to locate package nx

I need rdesktop to connect Windows. RDP is Window default package

so what you are saying is you only want to use one client to connect to both windows and linux machines?

RDP is great, I admit, but I think it would be better to use something native to linux for connecting and dealing with it.

Hi coopstah13,

That is what I'm trying to do. I made following tests

1)
Debian Client - to connect VM of "Sun Virtual Box" running either Linux or Windows on another PC on LAN
It worked without problem. VM server window won't take up the entire desktop of the client. I made this test several days ago

2)
Debian Client - to connect Ubuntu server on another PC on LAN
It is the test I'm doing. But Server window take up the complete Gnome desktop of the Client, also on LAN

RDP is great, I admit, but I think it would be better to use something native to linux for connecting and dealing with it.

I'm also interested to know other solutions in particular virtual desktop. I did it on LTSP/K12 several years back. Nowadays some software companies market this solution as thin client.

Does the technology differs from each other?

Thanks for your link. What will be the difference between NX and FreeNX. Thanks

there isn't any difference, freenx is GPL licensed

Hi coopstah13,

I forgot asking you in my last posting. Would the export window take up the entire screen of the client (local machine)?
