I installed rdesktop with yum from the centos "base" repo. I assumed it would then automnatically appear in the gnome and/or kde menus - but I haven't found it so far. Am I looking in the wrong place - or do I have to install it in the menus somehow? If so - where do I find instructions on doing this?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to build a fat client on an old pc. I have CentOS 5.3 installed standalone. Basically when the user turns on the pc, it automatically logs into a linux account and the desktop appears. I have installed rdesktop 1.60 to connect to a Win2008 server. From the command line or from a launcher icon I created on the linux desktop everything works fine. What I want to do is for the system to automatically execute rdesktop after the automatic login to linux. So I used the Sessions GUI. (Go to System, then Preferences, then More preference, then Sessions.) Within the Sessions GUI, I clicked on the "Startup Programs" tab and click on the "Add' button.
I type in :
rdesktop -f servername (where -f gives you full screen, and servername is the name of the windows server)
This works a couple of times, then it fails. When you reboot the linux pc, it will auto login, then show the rdesktop screen for a split second, disappears and then it shows the linux gnome desktop.
Is it possible to alter questions to the CentOS installer?
eg/ it could ask what platform you're on, instead of what packages you want to install, and it would then perform a function (eg/ installing drivers) based on the platform (be it dell etc.)
Is this possible and can anyone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I'm trying to slim down the ubuntu liveCD using the instructions from the following link: [URL]
My objective is to trim ubuntu down and leave nothing but the ability to do remote desktop and use network-manager to manage the network. Everything else is not important... so no clipboard no sound no 3D no USB... nothing except network and rdesktop with the regular gnome desktop with a panel for the network-manager applet
I managed to trim the final ISO down to 290MB but I need it around 100MB and if possible 50MB.
I do want to keep the ability to do "sudo apt-get install openoffice" in the future though....

I want to manage Linux machine from another Linux machine with rdesktop. And I can't find how to set up a rdesktop server on Linux (Arch).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a fully patched newly installed F15 x86_64 installation, with gnome-rdp used to run rdesktop to various Windows servers I manage. (rdesktop-1.6.0-11.fc15.x86_64) On F14, and most other Fedora's if I copied something on the Linux clipboard, I could paste it to the Windows server I was remote desktopped onto, and vice versa. However, on this installation this has ceased. The clipboard is no longer shared.
On a whim, I tested and found that when run from the command line as rdesktop -g 1024x768 hostname that the clipboard works. Thus the fault is with GNOME-RDP. gnome-rdp-0.2.3-8.fc15.x86_64
I am having some problems getting rdesktop working with sound. From what I understand, I should be able to use the following to allow sound support:
Code:
rdesktop -r sound:local [server ip address]
I can see that Windows says that it's outputting sound to a "remote audio", but there is no sound. If I connect to the same server with a windows rdp session, everything seems to work great.
I use rdesktop on SuSE 11 to connect to several windows 2003 servers.
Whenever I disconnect, like by accidentally hitting the close button, all my applications on the server are closed and my session is closed.
I would like them to stay open. The windows guy here showed me how it's not happening with his remote desktop on windows XP.
Is there any way to change this?
i would like to know how to start a Ubuntu boot without GUI and autorun rdesktop after start of Ubuntu?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI haven't tried this yet except on my FC13 x64 install, so I'm not sure if it's x64 related. I poked around the forums and saw other people mentioning things they tried, so looks to be an issue in general. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution that's worked for me.
I'm trying to get the sound from my Win7 box over to my FC13 box while using rdesktop. I'm using the "-r sound:remote" option to get the sound to stay with my Win7 box (gotta listen to my tunes while I work). I've tried other sound:* options (local, alsa, oss) all with no luck. I know sound works on my FC13 box as I've hooked up some speakers to test. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for something else I could be missing, I'm trying to convert from Windows, so be gentle. btw - I've also tried tsclient with the same result. so I'm thinking *something* is missing, but not really sure what to check for. I have to be missing *something* here. When I RDP from another Windows machine to my Win7 box, the sound works fine, just doesn't work when I try from my FC13 box to my Win7 box? Here is some additional details, I can provide the output of alsa-info.sh if that may help as well.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAt work we are planning on migrating XP machines to ubuntu, and from there connect via remote desktop to a Windows Server 2008. That part is working perfectly, but our problem now is how to set up ubuntu to "share" the local webcam, so it can be used from the remote session in the server. Going through rdesktop man page there is a redirection option, but doesn't say anything about USB devices.

I'm using UNE 10.10. When I connect to a windows pc in full screen mode using grdesktop I can get out of full screen mode fine by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Enter but when I do so grdesktop/rdesktop does not appear in the list of running applications and there's no apparent way to get back to my RDC. The rdesktop process is still running as seen by the ps command. How do I go about getting the window back? Could Unity be the problem??

View 2 Replies View RelatedGetting connection reset or time out when trying to rdesktop to a Win2003 server that has been upgraded to use SSL for server authentication. (See [URL]). Works fine connecting to other Win2003 servers, just not the secured ones. I'm using Rdesktop version 1.6.0 on Linux Fedora and also SUSE. To connect to the secure servers, Windows clients use the updated RDP client - version 5.2. As a workaround, I attempted to set up an SSL tunnel for rdesktop but wasn't successful in connecting through that either:
ssh username@10.10.10.10 -L 1024:winserver.work.org:3389
rdesktop localhost:1024
Has anyone been able to use rdesktop to connect to a win server that has been configured to use SSL server authentication for RDP connections?

I've happily been using rdesktop to access my MS Vista desktop from Ubuntu (Hardy) for a few months until a couple of days ago when it stopped working. Now if I try connecting I get the following:
[Code]....
I don't believe anything's changed on the client (Ubuntu) side. The Vista box is occasionally connected to a corporate intranet via VPN and it was after such a session that rdesktop stopped working, so perhaps a Windows group policy was modified during the session. I've checked the basics - can ping 10.1.1.2 from Ubuntu, can access port 3389. Have deleted ~/.rdesktop and ~/.tsclient.
Digging around the Vista client I noticed in Control Panel > System Properties > Remote that in the Remote Desktop sub-panel the Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication setting is enabled and that the other two are greyed out. Now, I don't know whether this setting has been changed but I suspect that it might be the problem.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Windows to know how or even whether I can change this setting to Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure) I've poked around the group policy editor (gpedit.msc) but no joy.
I have problem with login into Windows 2008 server usning rdesktop 1.6.

My OS is Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.
