Apps :: is there a server for rdesktop which DSL wouldrun?

You will not like the results if you start an x=session in an ssh connection.

If I read this right you are looking for an equal to a MS Terminal Server. Check out this link, it is the Linux version.

I have never tried it, but I have seen it work on a RedHat 7 server OK. So for DSL it is just a matter of installing all the dependancys.

Hey guys!

thanks a lot 300c_pilot for the page, I look at the app, but it is a bit too much MB and probably for me difficult to install if I have to check all dependencies in order to get it working right.

Instead, guess what: I am not careful enough! So I have downloaded the debian package of xrdp-0.2 (see the page above) and installed it in DSL 3.0RC2 with gtk2 libs loaded. The package does well install .... and I try then to load the xrdp linux-server in order to get it work, but I don't know if I succeded in it... I did a rdesktop localhost in order to check, got a black window which opens, but no screen with login and passwd request; ok, I have a bad wireless connection, don't really know how I am suppose to start the app, and have a black screen at home, so I have to check it between home and office.

More on that these next days. Thank you all of you for your help, it is very stimulating for me, and I learn a lot!

PS: xrdp-0.2 should enable me to have a light linux remote desktop server in my DSL-machine; I can then use rdesktop between my 2 DSL machines from/at home/office in order to manipulate GUI apps. It has the same function than a kind of VNC-server or a WINXP Remote Desktop utility, but it seems much better in speed, keyboard mapping qualities, screen resolution, etc. and, above all, very light.

Question for ya, have you used the Java client for the VNC. It is (I think anyway) faster?

Hi 300c_pilot,
I have heard about it, and I know it as java plugin for a web browser, which enables you to control your desktop remotely from a web browser instead of a traditional vnc or rdp client. It could do the job, too. I don't have any experience in using it, I don't know where I can find it in order to install the plugin in firefox, but I try to check it out.
thanks a lot!

After installing the java plugin for firefox in both a windows and a DSL-machine, I get the following:

http://IP_Addresse:5800 (impossible to connect)

http://IP_Addresse:5900 (got the message RFB 003.008 at the top left in a with window of firefox)

http://IP_Addresse:0 (impossible to connect)

http://IP_Addresse (impossible to connect)

I try this with both vnc4x and vnc4x0 servers.
