[opensuse] Remote desktop on 10.2
Has anyone got this working? I'm trying to remote in using windows/tighvnc client and I cannot get it working. I have gone into sax2 and enabled remote management but it will not connect. Is there somewhere else I need to enable something to make it work? I have a server at work running suse enterprise server and it works fine on there.

Dan, Are you trying to connect from your 10.2 workstation to a (windows) server? I have it running, using my opensuse laptop as a RDP client to a windows server. When you are trying to connect to your 10.2 workstation, have you opened the ports in the firewall. I know it's obvious, but it is also a common mistake. Gr.

that really works? I can get an RDP session to a windows server, without having to have VNC server running on the windows box? Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Peter Sure it works. Make sure you have the rdesktop package installed. I have no GUI frontend in gnome, but KDE offers a rdesktop frontend for this tool. It supports VNC and RDP.
My experience is that it works way faster then the "official" Windows RDP client. And easier to configure. To start from the commandline:>rdesktop <hostname> I use the resolution parms and userid password in my shortcuts. Works like a charm.

I use it all the time to go through VPN into my Windows XP and Windows 2003 workstations. Just use rdp://username@computername to connect. Because I'm not on the DNS for my LAN when going through VPN, I use rdp://username@IP_Address to connect. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/2007/20070213_rdc_work.jpg There, that's a screen shot I just took from my laptop. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I wish you luck. Should work out pretty easily. Keep in mind that the workstation (2K, XP, 2003) needs to have RDP setup.

Actually, only members of the Administrators group (with a password) are automatically granted access ;-) Oh wait, in Windows, everyone has to be an administrator to operate effectively............................................. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

THAT is too flippin COOL! Do you realize how much easier this makes my life? In just a flash, I no longer have to fire up vmware and my xp vm JUST so that I can rdp to some windows box. Unfreaking be-leivable! And, I could swear I asked about this capability over a year or more ago ... :-) Peter, happy boy! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You still need to call the remote site and have them physically plug the box back into the network, though, right?... so you can connect to it? Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

lol! well, yes, -- since all my customers are C2 Blue Book secure, they have to enable networking quick, so that I can connect and fix the troublesome local application. Then the local admin, standing close by, quick disables networking when I am done, to ensure the C2 rating! :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, I'm happy to read everything will work out. That is good. Um, you wrote that they are "C2 blue book secure".... ...does that mean they're part of Project Blue Book? Cool!

Another benefit of rdesktop is its ability to screen scale. just use the -g switch when starting from the command line and you can create a custom sized window. For example, if my screen resolution is 1024x768, I would run rdesktop at something like 912x684. This provides a better desktop geometry than 800x600, yet does not require scrolling as 1024x768 would. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Have you tried -g 90% ? Have you tried file sharing? Have you tried sound redirection? Have you tried printer redirection? Been using them all for years... Jerry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you open that port in the firewall? -- Sandy List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What about firewall? Do you have kdm/gdm running? thx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Make sure the vncserver is running, and further, you may need to have the port forwarded on your site firewall in order for your tightvnc client to come through. Use a non-standard port on the vncserver side to cut down on crack attempts.
