rdesktop 1.6 - remote desktop for Puppy
Hi all,
I've installed rdesktop-1.6.0-i386.pet and the 1.6 update to Puppy 4.1
the popup opens ok but nothing happens while trying to connect.
from the commandline comes this problem
<~>#remotedesktopclient
(remotedesktopclient:5229): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
Any pointers please
DC

Re: Puppy 4.1 doesn't play nice with remotedesktop
Same here. The menu shortcut does nothing. I did create an executable script which will start rdesktop and connect it to a Windows 2003 server at work that looks like-peterzeke wrote:
It seems no matter how I install remote desktop, it never shows up on the screen. It will list on the menu under network, but nothing happens after I select it (the hard drive does do a little activity, but that's it).
--pete
rdesktop -g 800x600 -a 16 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u myname -d mydomain
It connects great but the problem is it constantly crashes to the desktop. Sometimes it happens as soon as I give my password to log in. Other times I get connected and actually bring up an app or two to work with before it crashes. Very random. At first I thought it might be just the video and the process was still running, but process manager shows that rdesktop has terminated.
Any thoughts? What should I check next?
The prospect of using Puppy on an ancient laptop to control a 3 Ghz quad core server with 10 TB of storage (SAN) is a bit ironic. I'd like to get the bugs ironed out.
This works a treat for me but am wanting the rdesktop app to start up so that it directly goes into the remote login screen. What would be the best/easiest way to accomplish this?ttuuxxx wrote:Well while you found the answers I also made up this package to make life easier for you.
I first compiled Terminal Server Client, which is a GTK front end for rdesktop, Then added rdesktop and finally added gnocl.
So basically its all in one plus you can run from
Menu/Networking/Terminal Server Client
below is a picture of Terminal Server Client it has lots of options, Please report back how it works,
hope you enjoy it

BTW love the discussions here.
That is exactly what I posted above. Create the one line file. Using chmod make it executable and put a shortcut on the desktop.silvar wrote: This works a treat for me but am wanting the rdesktop app to start up so that it directly goes into the remote login screen.

Sorry, hate to bump threads but I still can't get rdesktop stable. It continues to crash to the desktop at random usually shortly after login when bringing up the first app or two on the remote server. This doesn't give much to go on, but how do I log what event causes it to crash so I can review it later to make a diagnosis?

This rdp client work great for my puppy 4.2.1.
I am able to connect to my office winXP box.
I connect to my office LAN using a Juniper SSL VPN though Firefox 2.0.07, then I can RDP to my win box.
Though this work great, if I use full screen mode, the display on my RDP connection once I am looking at the windows desktop, does not refresh properly and I see many renmants of the last GUIs I opened, e.g. task manager, txt files, etc. I am still testing various display setting on the ts client to avoid this.

rdesktop 1.6
Before using this and before starting the trek to getting a simple straightforward implementation on what I see as the most simple Linux desktop for the modern age (PUPPY), I want to THANK "ttuuxxx" for his fine investigation on rdesktop. Assuming Puppy proponents can make this simple, this is a major application for teckies and newbies, alike in the Puppy environment.ttuuxxx wrote:well it should have a menu item
All you have to do when you install a program is
open a terminal and type
fixmenus
then go to menu/shutdown/restart JWM
and it will fix the menus with a new icon in the proper location

I believe that this topic needs a "howto" and I believe that the forum isn't ubiquitous enough. What would it take for either a Howto document or a howto video on this? This is a MAJOR TOPIC and has very widespread use.
Even if Puppy decides to include the work of "ttuuxxx" (and this is very good clean implementation), a howto would still be useful as administrators and users could get a simple guide to remote Desktop Connections to a MS machine (XP Pro, Vista Business, all MS servers, Windows7 Enterprise, etc.)
Finally, if this application does become included somehow, most of the questions and the issues that I see here should diminish or disappear.

Hi, i have just fresh installed a 4.3.1 ver
and installed the rdesktop 1.6.0 ver that was submited on this thread
as i am using a win 2008 server and more then one keyboard layout on the server i must use the rdesktop 1.6.0 with the -G option (prevent window manager key bindings) otherwise it will mess up key bindings on each layout change, and the only option is to restart the session.
on puppy there is no -G option avilable while on opensuse 11.2 or ubuntu latest ver it is avilable.
i can see all options with rdesktop -v
may some one have a solution for this issue ?
