(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello! Does anyone know if a .pup is available for rdesktop 1.6? Currently 1.4.1 is available but it is very unstable (lots of segmentation faults). On the ubuntu forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=403592) they discuss this issue and it's supposedly fixed in 1.5. I see from rdesktop.org that the latest stable is 1.6.

Thank you!

Stripped

This version is not able to find my keymap (en-us!?) is this a problem on my end or in the compilation of the binary?

Here try this one I just compiled up and tell us how it goes:)
i never used it so I have no idea.

Not sure, but I mentioned in another thread that Google will show you lots of people complaining about this, although it seems mostly with older versions.

@ttuxxx, what compile options did you choose, if any?

Just the run of the mill
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i386-linux
It didn't look like it needed anything complicated like vlc or ffmpeg would.
ttuuxxx

I'm guessing you didn't strip it either.
BTW if anyone wonders, I just stripped the one Will posted.

Many thanks to ttuuxxx for sharing a working version of remote desktop! Up until a few days ago I was about to give up on Puppy (very reluctantly) because I couldn't get remote desktop to work...it just kept crashing. Coming across this discussion thread saved me the trouble to keep testing other distros that might work on an old pentium II based laptop.

ttuuxxx's version of remote desktop has been smooth and stable.

thanks to all you linux gurus!

Your welcome
Hey your from Rochester NY, That isn't far from where I'm from Cornwall, Ontario. I've been to Rochester many of times, nice place.

Ps Glad I could help

Well, I've tested the latest release of puppy 4.1, and discovered that I can't get remotedesktop to work at all. The application won't even display on the screen. I've even tried ttuuxxx's version of remotedesktop1.6 without success.

Has anyone been successful? Is there something I should configure?

Lastly, I'm just your average end-user of linux looking for options to keep an old PII laptop in use. Puppy 4.0 dingo runs great on the laptop but that version of puppy doesn't remember my wireless setting; 4.1 seems to have fixed that issue, but now I've lost remotedesktop funcationality.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Maybe try puppy 4.0 and install this network update
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=12313
If not next time when I boot up 4.0.1 I'll try to compile it again.
But I like 4.0 better, lol

The network update fixed the problem of puppy not remembering my wireless setting -- awesome! (ttuuxxx saves the day)

But, now I'm struggling to get remote desktop working, again.

What are the recommended steps for installing remote desktop? Should I install the remotedesktopclient pet (and the related dependencies) and then install ttuuxxx's remote desktop 1.6 pet or install ttuuxxx's pet file first and then remotedesktopclient?

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).

Again, many thanks in advance (especially to ttuuxxx),

Well, I've solved my problem. I forgot that to get remote desktop working, there's one additional file needed that isn't triggered by any pet dependencies: gnocl. (It's listed as an official puppy 3.0 pet, not 4.0)

Here's a link to a discussion that speaks to the issue:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=15639

So, good news is that both of ttuuxxx's pet files (rdesktop 1.6 and the network wizard) now make for a truly satisfying puppy experience.

Thanks again ttuuxxx!

--pete

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

The network file isn't mine its made by dougal I only found you the link, I read good things about it
You can read about it here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31522

Ps I don't think gnocl is needed with this setup, since this front end is gtk, and not tcl.

Yeah, man! Works great.

When I first installed your tsclient pet I didn't see it listed under Menu/Network. So my first thought was "darn it". But, then I remembered that linux isn't Windows or Mac, so I went digging around the file manager to see if I could locate the tsclient -- success!

I've since discovered that I can copy the the tsclient.desktop file to the desktop so that I have a convenient icon to click.

How can I add the program under Menu/Network?

By the way, I've got everything running on puppy 4.1 -- not having to reconfig the wireless settings on each boot is awesome, and your remote desktop solution makes my laptop experience absolutely complete. Many thanks, ttuuxxx

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
ttuuxxx
Ps your welcome , Glad I could help

Thanks for the screenshot. I was looking to find tsclient listed after "Superscan network scanner". It didn't occur to me to look further up the menu list.

Nevertheless, thanks for the tip on issuing a fixmenus command.
