rdesktop has been spewing error messages since the update to CentOS 6.4. Aside from the continuous stream of errors in the terminal window from which it was launched, there are a number of usability issues in the remote session. The pointer does not change shape when moving over various window components such as column separators, window borders, etc. The background doesn't refresh within

Still in the process of migrating from an old CentOS5 server to a brand new CentOS7. After finally getting Virtualbox-5.0 installed and a new Wondoze10 Pro installed it became time to shift the data from the old server to the new. The old server is headless and I installed the old WindozeXP into the Virtualbox4.x via the command line. To do some of the admin I needed to attach to the windoze

We're looking for what, years ago, I'd describe a s a X terminal -- something small, simple (and ideally cheap) that a user could display X applications on. I guess they're now called thin clients, but they now seem geared as seats on the web, and for this application we would need to be able display the results of running a homebrewed X application from a CentOS system, either

I've got this report (edited for clarity): # As it happens, it is unique to tunneling.

Hi all, I'm trying to connect to a remote Widnows server from my CentOS 5.2 / KDE 3.5.4-11, but everytime I try and connect I get the following error: Could not start rdesktop: make sure rdesktop is properly installed And I connect using krdc rdp:/remote.host.name - but I also tried krdc rdp:/ 1.2.3.4 from the command line. It pop's up the preferences box, where I specify the screen

i installed an HVM WinXP-SP2 (english) on a xen-3.2.1 @ fedora-core8. if I try to connect to the RDP-port, the winxp-DomU freeze for about 10 seconds (can''t make any action on the vnc-viewer, all running programs do not update there view (e.g. windows clock does not run) and the "xm top" shows me 100% CPU load on this domain. After this 10 seconds, I got the normal rdp-login

Sorry for an off topic post, but a lot of you folks are sysadmins here or there, and just might have a suggestion... ;-) I have a WinXP machine that is to be unattended for a period of 3 years (yes, I know, it sounds ridiculous, but still...). What I need is remote access to it to perform regular system maintenance, virus cleanups, occasional software installations, reboots, config changes,

I got my hands on a HP t5720. This was designed as a thin-client workstation (originally Windows XPembedded, talking to a Windows terminal server). It's not very powerful, with an AMD Geode NX 1500 (1.0 GHz), 256Mb RAM (16MB used for video) and a 512Mb flash "hard disk". I plugged in a USB DVD drive and was able to boot "linux rescue" from a C5.4 32bit disk, and it

Not the answer you want but xfreerdp has worked for me where rdesktop no longer does (I take because of the new security settings) xfreerdp /bpp:16 /size:1200x720 /u:"raubvogel" /v:hostname:port On Mon, Nov 12, 2018 at 5:11 AM <me at tdiehl.org> wrote: > > On Sun, 11 Nov 2018, Fred Smith wrote: > > > I have a win10 VM in virtualbox on my Linux (C7) desktop.

I have a win10 VM in virtualbox on my Linux (C7) desktop. I CAN connect to it with rdesktop 1.8.3 (now rather old, but it's the latest release), but cannot connect with remmina or krdc. Both of them just hang for a while then say they can't connect. Curiously, they all will connect to the win10 box in my office. They don't show any other useful information, and I don't know where

I'm having some fun with R on a Windows 2003 Server talking to a Wyse Winterm running Thinstation Linux. The Winterm boots Linux from the network and then runs rdesktop to a Dell 1750 server (dual 3G Xeon or somesuch). The first problem I noticed was that R (and the terminal) ground to a near halt during demo(graphics). Further investigation showed that it seemed to be due to having

Hi I have a problem with Windows Server Ent (and Std) 2008 x64 running on IBM Blade Center. I can add it to the Samba domain but when I restart it, it comes to "Applying computer settings..." and if I connect with rdesktop I can see a screen saying "Please wait for the group policy client" and after some minutes it restarts. I can boot it in Safe mode, remove from domain

I have been dragging my feet on remote display, and have just gotten VNC going to have SOMETHING to move off the start line.

All, in order to have consistent backups of Windows HVM guests, I need to shut them down first. "rdesktop" could do this from a Linux shell, but I don''t have X Windows active (called from cron). Another idea would be to have Cygwin sshd, which i don''t like to install for support reasons. Is anyone aware of any other possibility? Thx! B.
