Re: ubuntu

rdp server for linux? i havent used that but maybe check this out:

http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/

rdesktop is a nice linux based rcp client to connect TO windows rdp hosts:

http://www.rdesktop.org/

also if you cant install any software on your laptop, i would suggest trying TightVNC:

http://www.tightvnc.com/

you can download the client binary from the website in a zipfile, and the winvnc.exe is self contained and you can run it from your laptop w/o installing anything at all. this does basically the same thing as rdp. so you can start a vnc server on your linux box with something like:

$ vncserver -geometry 1280x1024

then use the windows client binary to connect to your linux box.

Re: ubuntu

I've seen a lot of other sites recommend xrdp... but no luck. I've installed it via Synaptic and am still unable to connect to it from either my two windows boxes here. Other articles have suggested installing tightvnc in parallel (which I also did via Synaptic) but that didn't produce any results

I'm also unable to connect via the tightvnc Win client from either Windows box after starting the server on Jaunty. It's pingable, it doesn't make sense! I just want to terminal into my main box from my couch

Re: ubuntu

hey poults, I just tried krdc and it's actually letting me connect to my Windows boxes from my Jaunty box... this is the farthest I've gotten yet! It doesn't look like a host though. Can I use it to connect to ubuntu from Windows RDP?

Re: ubuntu

^^, run the vncserver command i gave you above and post its output here.

also do you want a full gui of your ubuntu box on your laptop? if yes then vnc is the way to go, if not just ssh in from your laptop.
