XRDP

[javahaxxor]

Hi,
I was looking for something similar to Terminal Services only for Linux/Gnome. XRDP seems to fit the description, but I can't get it to work. Does anyone have a clue how to set it up ? I can't even connect over the loopback address. Output from tsclient :

Code: Select all

** (tsclient:13990): WARNING **: 
Autoselected keyboard map en-us
ERROR: channel_register
WARNING: Initializing sound-support failed!
X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  23 (X_GetSelectionOwner)
  Atom id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  51
  Current serial number in output stream:  51

The terminal services client in Win says:

I've changed in sesman.ini so that it listens to 0.0.0.0 with no success.

/adrian

Code: Select all

Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged on to the network etc

When I enable warnings, a warning box with a yellow stripe appears and says

Code: Select all

The identity of the remote computer cannot be verified. Do you want to connect anyway? - This can happen if the remote computer is running a version of Windows which is earlier than Vista, or if the remote computer is not configured to support server authentication (etc)

Or is there any other good way of being able to connect to a Linux/Gnome box in a similar manner to Windows Remote Desktop ? What about Vino project ?

Bump
It looketh like I got bit by this bug also. Just tried to install Debian Lenny on a laptop with a Via C3 processor and a Via CLE266 graphics chip. Same results as Llama. Is there a bug report that hath been filled out for this problem?

it's not in the package repository

[Jackiebrown]

vino is.

I usuually just ssh myself and if I need x I tunnel it

[javahaxxor]

I'm guessing that you do that from another linux console ?
could you post a command line for how you do it ?

I've tried some windows clients for X, but they sucked ass .. That's why I hoped to get this XRDP stuff to work

I use x11vnc server on my linux box & connect with vnc [windows]. Works well. Also can connect with other linux boxes using krdc.
