xrdp and nomad?

[alaios]

hello!
I am trying to make rdesktop work for my computer just to be able to use rdp from another linux computer. The Yast2 requires the xrdp package to be installed first

So far, I have nt found any reposityory for 11.2 that contains the xrdp package. Do you know any 11.2 xrdp repository?

Searching for xrdp I read about the nomad application. Do you think I must use it in 11.2? Software repository?

Best Regards

Just one more question. I am pretty new to using remote computer access. So in my work I have installed and using linux. While in my home (wife’s computer) I have windows vista installed. Do I really need rdp to access my linux from windows flavours?

For some reasons I do not like rdp that much. What is the linux technology for remotely accessing machines?

Best Regards
Alex.

Hi
I use NX from nomachine.com it uses ssh and is much quicker and than
the others.

Ok thanks! Is this another rdp client? I saw in YasT that I can use rdp and vnc client. I do not know which is the best between those two.

One more thing! I really love your avatar

Hi
Both use rdp which can be somewhat bandwith intensive, NX (or freeNX)
use ssh tunneling so it’s generally quicker. Plus the benefit of having
one less service to run

Hi
These links should explain it all

Remote Desktop Protocol

Virtual Network Computing

VNC uses the rfb protocol, rdp protocol is MS proprietary protocol.

Hi I built it the other week for another user;

Thank you Malcolm,
Following the three-steps you list. It worked fine for me.
I was a little worried about using the 11.1 xorg-x11-server-dmx/rdp code. But, as I said, it seemed to be fine.

However, I have now noticed that I am having keyboard problems (missing keys: numeral 1 & 2, and the pipe, to name a few).
Can you suggest, what where I should be checking?

Regards, Martin

Here I have the same keyboard problem…had googled around but not found a solution yet. I have an Italian keyboard and layout

Yes, I share your frustration. It is proving very difficult to engage anyone “in the know” in a conversation on this subject.

However, for what it is worth, one little tip that MAY help? And this only comes about by trial and error, not any understanding of how XRDP is working.

In my /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini file I have made this change:

[xsessions]
#lib=libdmx.so    #rem this line out
lib=libvnc.so     #... and use this shared object library file instead
...
[failsafe]

This change gives me an almost working UK keyboard (numeral 1&2 are back) but still no pipe or hash keys!

I hope this is of some help.

Just to update this. I am running nx too and it is great very fast. I have one question. Do you know if it is possible to configure nx client to not close the remote session even If I am disconnected. In other words…1. I work remotely, 2. I disconnect, 3. When I reconnect my window manager resumes at the point I was before at step one.

Hi
Hmmm, that’s how it works for me. I wonder if you have some old
sessions on the host your connecting to, or on the local machine.

Check down in the ~/.nx folder and remove all the session files 9except
your current one.
