N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi-

I am a part time trader and have to ocassionally manage my trades from office- is there any way I can use N900 to remote login to my desktop at home and access the trading platform and manage my open positions?

Your response appreciated!

You can use VNC viewer, it's in extras-testing at the moment.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

VNC works nicely on the N900.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Any chance of seeing an implementation of the Microsoft RDP protocol any time soon? With windows machines it's kind of redundant to install VNC.

Also, OpenVPN + RDP makes the ultimate roadtime server management tool! :D

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

There's rdesktop for N800 so I guess that should work or will work soon.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I REALLY would like/need VNC on the N900 so that's very good to know. But a quick question: How do you control the mouse without a trackball or something on the N900?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

It's a touchscreen, so you just click / drag etc on the screen.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

in this video, you can see a sort of mouse plugin.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Yeah, I've seen the video long ago. But I thought the swipe-from-the-left-edge mouse function only worked in the browser, not from the desktop.

So are you saying you're running VNC from in the browser instead of as a separate app or does the Maemo mouse work outside of the browser? Sorry, I'm just not clear about how this is working...

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

i'm not so deep into the n900 software.
i just thought, if this function is available in the browser, it shouldn't be
difficult to implement it into other programs like the desktop remote.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Wiee, VNC is great ****!

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Is anyone with an n900 able to post a video of RDP in action? :D

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

VNC is NOT remote desktop

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

What do you mean with this. I use VNC on my ordinary computers and works perfectly. How How can you say it's not? ^^

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

The same way as the console and RDP are not the same thing

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Sorry but I still don't understand your point.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I think he means that it's not the M$ remote desktop protocol.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Well, if the browser is sufficient, you should be able to use any basic online remote desktop service, such as logmein.org.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Or porting something such as http://www.rdesktop.org/ for RDP would be great imo..

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

So i take it tsclient or even better NX client havent been ported to maemo 5 yet? Unless vnc has improved drastically in very recent history it is far far slower than rdp/NX

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

The online service of logmein only seems to work with with Windows Mobile, Symbian and Blackberry.. Dont think there is support for Maemo yet..

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I'd also appreciate RDP support.

VNC is not a substitute when connecting to a Windows machine. It only transfers images while RDP is much smarter and integrated with the OS.

This allows it to work over slow connections without becoming a blurry mess.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi, the cli version of the rdesktop will most probably work as is. (At least this was the case when moved to Maemo 4.)

What you most probably would like to ask is if pyRDesktop, i.e. the front-end made by TrueJournals, could be ported to Maemo 5. It's quite nice and useful.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

For the same reasons I'd love an NX client for dealing with Linux machines. VNC is just too slow.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

There was a maemo 4 version of logmein. We'll have to see if they create a maemo 5 version. Probably not hard given it's just a browser plugin.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I was referring to the Online Remote Service of LogMeIn (as Kieron did) and not the software version.. ;)

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I love NX, it's so much better than any other remote desktop software I have ever dealt with. I saw somewhere that there were efforts to get qtnx working on N8XX. I'm not sure how successful they were, but a NX client for maemo 5 would be great.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Well, it worked. But there is no scaling or zooming or gestures of any kind.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Does this include going the other way? As in can you setup a VNC server on the N900 and remote into it? Sounds like this project's focus is going on the other way.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

i can go to the site, login and select the computer, but then it is just a blank screen on the e90.

was there a .sis file that i missed somewhere?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi all,

We have ported Rdesktop to N900. It is based on version 1.6 for Diablo. It has the UI and backend together unlike the latest split packages rdesktop-cli and pyrdesktop.

We have implemented a few additional features like
- keyhandling to enter numbers from N900 keypad
- full screen to normal mode toggling
- etc.

We will contact Bobby Graese, Hallyson Melo and Kemal Hadimli to share the implementation. Hope they will be interested :)

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

LogMeIn has an addon for N800/810

Wondering if this can somehow be ported? I can't download it from their site, i get refused on the n900 saying its not supported.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Could you just publish this one somewhere and worry about the integration afterwards? This looks really, really useful.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Yes, this is definitely useful, pls share.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

please post it publicly

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

It would be great to have this!

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Hi,

Million thanks.

Couple of questions though; from the screenshot (don't have the device myself) it seems that there is no options to store/choose profiles. Is this the case?
Also, will it be possible to use this version without a gui? I remember the first port in OS2008 was popping a gui when called from xterm - really awful when used in scripts.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I did not found any ink to download it :(
Am i Wrong?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Guys thank you SO much for this. This was the last real reason I had for carrying my N810 around with me! I can now clear it down and start using it for playing around with and use my nice fast N900 for server support when needed!

Very happy lad here :D

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

So where can I download the RDP application from ?
