Hey guys, I was just about to post my own thread when I saw you guys talking over here. I actually have .4 original version from chinook working fine, as well as another version I found called rdesktop-cli 1.5.0.

The problem i'm having is this... I want to use Personal Menu to create a link to rdesktop with parameters for each server I administer. With Personal Menu, I am able to get rdesktop-cli 1.5.0 working if I check "run in terminal" but it opens the terminal in non-fullscreen mode and thus puts the window to my server in that same small window and I cannot make it fullscreen no matter what I do.

Using rdesktop .4 or Journals -diablo1, no switch works at all.. no matter what I pass to rdesktop either in terminal mode or not, all I get is the window with all the fields, it doesnt fill them in, and it doesnt try to connect.

If there is another way to make a specific connection opposed to typing in different ip's/host names each time I want to connect, please let me know, but I dont really care which route I take, just as long as I can get it working.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hey, sorry to kinda cut you off cybertron, but I finally got the rdesktop to work, I didn't really do anything, it just randomly started working. But now I have another problem lol, when I get to the windows log on screen it says "The system could not log you on." I don't know what the problem is, I tried both accounts on that computer. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks Cache!

Running it from the command line allowed me to see the problem. rdesktop was not crashing - it just closes whenever it is upset about any little thing.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

where you set the command did you use the -f option?

for example: rdesk -f -u username -p password 192.168.1.100

look also here for other options to try if you haven't.

Another option is to make a small program to run in the terminal from which you can choose the PC you want to connect.
Something like this:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

selection=
until [ "$selection" = "0" ]; do
    echo ""
    echo "RDesktop MENU"
    echo "1 - PC 1"
    echo "2 - PC 2"
    echo "3 - PC 3"
    echo "4 - PC 4"
    echo ""
    echo "0 - exit program"
    echo ""
    echo -n "Enter selection: "
    read selection
    echo ""
    case $selection in
        0) exit ;;
	1) rdesk -f -u username -p password 192.168.0.3;;
	2) rdesk -f -u username -p password 192.168.0.4;;
	3) rdesk -f -u username -p password 192.168.0.5;;
	4) rdesk -f -u username -p password 192.168.0.6;;
	*) echo "Please enter 1, 2, 3, 4, or 0"
    esac
done
replace the usernames, passwords, ips with the correct and add it to a text file which you can name for ex. do_rdesktop.sh in /home/user/

give it executable rights:
Code:
chmod +x do_rdesktop.sh
In Personal Menu you will link it with /home/user/do_rdesktop.sh

Hope you get my point..

One more option is to use the Remote Connection Manager (grcm) to store the list of your PCs. (search for gcrm in garage and here)

I'm not having luck with this deb either.
Where are the settings stored? They're not in /var/lib/gconf/apps/rdesktop/%gconf.xml

The system is making the first character uppercase. Either click the arrow (shift) key to get rid of that or use the onscreen keyboard to enter your username.
Hope that helps. Took me some time to figure it out.

Hey guys, I just made a new frontend for rdesktop that should be MUCH more reliable. Check it out: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...082#post212082

My GUI was made for Diablo. I'm actually not sure whether or not it works on Chinook...
