Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

Woops! I always test these releases on my n800, but I forget that I have a bunch of extra python packages installed that others might not. I just pushed 1.5.0-6 to extras. It should fix the issue. Sorry about that...

Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

This is probably a bit of a basic question. I've just read every post and didn't see an answer (unless it was in that text output box).

I cannot connect using pyRdesktop.

In rDesktop I did not need to enter a 'Name'. When I log in on my Win PC I am only asked for a password. So what do I put in Name? In pyRdesktop, if I leave it blank I get the error:
Sorry there was an error connection to "". Conn refused. Will try again...
The remaining boxesa are completed as follows:
Host: Local PC I/P address 192.168.123.xxx
Username: Logon Name (with no spaces)
Password: my password to logon to the above username profile (no spaces)
Domain: WORKGROUP (I believe the default or what many use at least)

I did not change the advanced preferences default settings.

I did get rDesktop working under chinook to my Win XP pro machine and until recently my settings were still present though I have never connecetd under Diablo.
pyRdesktop version is 1.5.0-6.
Am I using the correct version as I only installed the single package 'pyRdesktop' and then updated with all the updates as they appeared? I see you have split into two now.

Thanks for the help. And thanks for all the work you are putting in on this.

Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

Hmm, that seems strange. Name is really just a vanity field. It's used for profiles, and for errors. The reason it says "connection to ""." is because you didn't put in a name (it would show the name if you put one in). The name field does not affect anything except for the title of the remote desktop window. Try adding a name (anything will work), and see if the connection works then.

You should only need to install pyRDesktop for it to work. pyRDesktop depends on another package, rdesktop-cli, which is really the rdesktop executable (the part that does the connecting, etc.). Make sure that rdesktop-cli is installed, and that there aren't any updates for it.

If all else fails, double and triple check your IP address. That's the best cause I can guess for the error.

Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

Well I tried the IP address check first. I was sure it was correct - I hadn't changed it and I even have it written on a sticky note on my monitor. Guess what? It changed! It went up by one. (I did ipconfig to check) and with the correct address it connected immediately! Wow - I haven't seen that for months. Thankyou, thankyou.

FWIW, I tried the sound and it was uniteligable distortion. Didn't even sound like music was playing. I did read something about sound but kind of glanced over such posts as I was looking for initial connection help. Any suggestions?
BTW I have rdesktop-cli 1.6.3-maemo1

Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

Glad to hear everything works. As for sound... it just sucks ;-)

Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

I don't suppose there is any chance that this could run on a 770?

I know, wishful thinking.

The software looks awesome - and the auto reconnect may actually be what pushes me to upgrade.

Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

onhiatus: It could be possible to build this for the 770. Which OS are you running? OS2006, OS2007HE, or OS2008HE? Also, can you post the output of running the following command:
I think I'll have to recompile rdesktop-cli, so I'll see if I can get scratchbox setup for the 770 in the next week or so.

In other news, I just started school again, so further development will be much slower now. If anyone points out minor bugs that prevent usage, I'll try to get those fixed ASAP, but other than that, there won't be too many new releases. That being said, I'm glad I was able to get the program to this point before school started for me, as the program seems to work well :-D

Re: New rDesktop (with new frontend)
 

I'm running the latest os2006. I don't have a problem flashing one of the hacker editions if nessecary...

I'll try to remember to get you the output tonight... I have a 5 week old, so I'm usually fairly distracted once I get home :)
