Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

hello

I downloaded rdesktop-cli application installed but I can't see any icon

where is the pyrdesktop application?

thank you

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

you have to execute rdesktop-cli from command line for it to work:
like
$ rdesktop-cli <some host name>

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

ah ok :eek:

with xterminal? (I'm not very familiar...)

what I write in "some host name" ?

thank you

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

just put in the hostname or IP of the machine you want to remote desktop to.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

ok thank you :D

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

this would look like dumb question but where do you download it from

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I just asked the same question.. From what I've just read rdesktop-cli is the backend, and you launch it by using X-Term

But juaalto said he packaged rdesktop-cli and pyrdesktop together but there no mention of an application. Theres just a link to a picture..

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

pyRDesktop is in the extras repository.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi hypnotik,

I have another problem, the keyboard doesn't work I can't write the username and pw.

I have an Italian keyboard, could this the problem?

thank you, Danilo

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I can't find pyRDestkop in extras repository on my N900... is it just me?

Thank you,
Roberto

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

me too :confused:

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I don't think he gave any download links yet. You seem to be installing older split packages instead of juaalto's implementation?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi,

Just to ask what is possibly a silly question. Can you use VNC Viewer to log into a windows 2003 server, or windows desktop.

If not is there currently a remote desktop application you can use ?

Best regards,

MB

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi,

You could put directly the parts you miss as options.

Something like that should work:
Replace the username password and host with the appropriate values.
-f is for fullscreen, you can exclude it if it makes a problem for you.

Hope it helps.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

thanks :D

the correct is:

rdesktop-cli -f -u username -p password host

works very very well
:cool:

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Where to download rdesktop-cli for N900?

Thank you,
Roberto

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

cool.

one question: after you connect, does your keyboard works?

I just wonder which version you got..

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi Saturn,

yes it works perfectly and is very fast :D

the xterminal autoselects the italian keyboard

why there is not an icon and i have to use the xtermanal?

thankx

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Roberto I think is in the Maemo Extras or extrastesting repository

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

how much testing has this gone through

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

If your server is virtualized via kvm you can easily use kvms buildin vnc server as remote access engine. Of course you need access to the kvm server.
OTOH you can use rdesktop to connect to every windows from XP to Server 2008 R2, but with standard license there is only one live session at the same time allowed. Somewhere in the system control panel (or server manager) you have to allow remote access.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

You can use vnc to log into a windows system, but you have to have a version VNC server installed and running the server. I prefer TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com) as GPL licensed and has nice features and some extras for Windows (such as file transfers). And it has Tight encoding with JPEG compression which is very nice on slower connections.

I use TightVNC on all of my (few) personal Windows boxes. (They are game machines.)

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I seem to have problem in using VNC Viewer with my N900. When I try to connect to an IP which has the VNC Server running, it immediately gives the following error:

Connection failed:

I'm able to ping to this IP address from X Terminal, although I do have to use "sudo gainroot" for ping to work. Am I doing something wrong?

I know the VNC server works as I can connect to it via an other computer.

Thank you for your help.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

how many frames per seconds does the remote desktop-app for n900 draw?
would it be possible to, lets say, play games via the remote desktop on the n900?

i'd love to play red alert 3 while laying in my bed through my n900 on my pc :D

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Is there a remote desktop app to connect to a windows (xp) computer?

Eikido

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

It works fine for me. I had to specify the full DNS address (there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the WLAN config to specify a default domain), and display number, but then it connected without problems.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I think there's an RDP client in extras-testing/-devel, or you can install a VNC server and use the VNCviewer app from extras.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Do you mean by display number the port number?

I tried now using the IP address and the port number. If I use the "access" port number I get the same error. But if I use the "Java server" port number, it tries for some times and then I get this error:

Could not connect to server

Anyone else has had this kind of problems?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

If you're running the server on Windows then the display number will be '0', on Linux/UNIX platforms it could be different (it should get reported when the server is started).

So connecting to 'servername.domain:0' should work with a Windows VNC server.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

So in theory this should work too:

192.168.0.1:0

Right?

But it doesn't (Error: Connection failed: ). Neither does any of these:

192.168.0.1 (Error: Connection failed: )
192.168.0.1:5800 (Java server port - Error: Could not connect to server)
192.168.0.1:5800 (Connection port - Error: Connection failed: )

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

That should work, yes. Which VNC server are you using? And is there any firewall on the desktop which might be blocking things?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I'm using Real VNC Server running on a 32 bit Windows XP. I can connect to it from other Windows clients just fine, so firewall should not be a problem. But just to make sure, I disabled the firewall and tested again. But alas, no change.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Is anybody able to figure out how to switch tasks or switch off full-screen mode while on the n900 with rdesktop-cli?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi all,

Just got my N900 :), and stubled upon this thread as it appears some people have got a remote desktop client working.

I have managed to find this page which is what i assume you are refering too.
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=2011

I wonder if one of your smart guys could write a quick step by step for how to get this installed correctly on a n900 and run it. I noticed a few people in this thread asking how do they do it but no one has really answered :(

Looking forward to your replies, sur eone of your bright sparks can help.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I got the same problem with VNC.

Server on winXP desktop, test says it should work.
VNC viewer on N900, installed properly.

I connect either within the lan with the 192.168.0.xxx address or without the lan with the outside IP address.

Both tried to connect with and without the port. I opened the port in the router as well but still got nothing. Any tips?

edit: ping works btw from n900

Okay. Got It Worrking.

Try going into Settings-Text input and unchecking Auto-capitalization

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi there,
I'm using a N900 (so far a bit puzzled by the global behavior... not bad/not good...)
Anyway...I can't figure how to get right-click on rdesktop-cli.
Also, I noticed that the only way to get keyboard working is to set the device to full screen.
If anybody has a clue, thanks for helping.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I just installed VNC server and viewer and after porting it it work perfectly. The only issue I'm having is how to control the mouse cursor :) left clicking is fine (although quite smaal) but can I also right click? can I copy files to my N900? and how does the square&mouse offset thing work?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Same question here, I second that.

Thanks,
Corwin

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I'm not sure how to right click - I've not played with the viewer on the N900 much yet.

Copying files won't work - that's not a standard VNC feature (various VNC versions support it, but mostly in differing ways).

The square should indicate where the local cursor position is, with the pointer indicating where the remote cursor position is. The remote cursor display can lag the local cursor on slow links, but you should be able to assume it's at the local cursor position for any interaction purposes (i.e. if you click on something then it'll take action at the local cursor position, not the currently displayed remote cursor position).
