Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Are you using the rdesktop-cli or the rdesktop package?

The double-click Ctrl thing is for rdesktop. Although trying it now, I find that sometimes I have to hit Fn (the blue arrow) first.

this did it for me, fn+ctrl then each click is right click, do it again (or just ctrl alone) to swap back.:p

Help!!
 

Help me, so I bought this phone now and installed this DEB file (trying to remote desktop into a Windows vista Laptop)

rdesktop_1.7-maemo1_armel under my Documents folder.

Now I open X-TERMINAL and type in root followed by

"dpkg -i /N\ 900/Documents/rdesktop_1.7-maemo1_armel.DEB"

but this just says file not found!!!

Remote desktop is the only reason I got his phone please help!

@N900_NEWBIE
The file is not found, because you are specifying a file that doesn't exist. There is no "/N 900" directory. I think you are getting confused with the name of the mount point. You can find where you placed your file (or any deb file) by doing this:

e.g.
Then use the full path to the deb with dpkg. Although since I take it you are not familiar with linux commands you should know that you could potentially damage your device.

Edit: Here is the find manual, so you know what the switches do.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Thanks but this dont work for me. It says not found. I typed in exact as you- are there any spaces in between?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Please elaborate. What says "not found"? When you run "dpkg" or "find"?

Yes there are spaces between every word. You must type it exactly as I typed it.

If would help if you could install the load applet which lets you take screenshots, and post the output of running the find command after logging in as root (if you still have trouble).

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi yes it says not found with the find command

Let me try again with spaces

Btw, could you type in a command exactly as you would assuming you had a .deb file in your documents directory?

I would really appreciate this!

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

What documents directory do you mean? Take this scenario and go from there.

1) Plug your N900 into your usb port and select mass storage.
2) You will get a "Nokia N900" drive. Copy your deb file here, e.g. "file.deb".
3) Unmount your phone.
4) Open a terminal
5) Type "root"
- Your terminal name will change to "Nokia-N900-42-11:~#"
6) Type: "cd /home/user/MyDocs"
7) Type "ls"
- You will see the contents of this directory, including "file.deb" which you copied.
8) Type "dpkg -i file.deb"

Obviously do not include the quotations above, they include what you need to type. And note that directory names are CASE-sensitive, so write them exactly as shown above.
