Remote Desktop [ RDP files and Remmina ]
Hello everyone, I have to login remotely from home to work and this involves booting up a Windows system then logging in. Which works fine. I wanted to see if I can login remotely using Remmina and the RDP protocol using Linux. So far zilch and tried most things I know ( which is very little ). So I was wondering if anyone has any experience logging into a Windows System remotely using Linux and Remmina ? When I try to activate the tool for work under Linux it just lets me save the RDP file. I have tried to import the file into Remmina but does not connect. What should I do to trouble-shoot and resolve ? Any suggestions? And Evan I received your email to the Raspberry Pi thread I was busy-busy sorry for not acknowledging sooner :-) So once again to break it down: 1 - Office System is in London, Ontario and runs Windows. 2 - I have a dual boot running Windows and Debian How do I log-in to the office server using my linux system ? Thanks - Aruna

rdesktop sometimes works for me. http://www.rdesktop.org/ I've also used VNC but I've no idea how that was enabled on Windows. Have you opened the appropriate port on the firewalls? Sometimes we miss the obvious. :) -- Tom Low-Shang 416 857 7013 https://twitch.tv/tomlowshang

Thank you I never knew about rdesktop.

Am studying how VNC functions..

My end is ok. It is the office end I do not have access to :-(

I have used remmina to access remote servers running Windows. I'm not sure about setting up the Windows side of the connection as the servers had RDP access already enabled. I just needed to enter the IP address, the name for the root or administrator account and associated password, and set the connection type to RDP. On the Windows side check whether Remote Desktop is available in the version of Windows you are running. If it is available you will need to enable it. Set the firewall to restrict RDP access to your remote machine. -- Cheers!

Oh-kay so Remmina does work. I just have to figure out how now :-)

This is a problem. I do not have access to the office server.

Thank you Kevin. I will have to ask the IT team in the london office but they are very strict when it comes to these things. Procedure and policy is what they say.

Kevin.

I have some experience with remmina, in as much as I help my wife with it, when it breaks. She's ubuntu at home, and uses the snap package. The apt one doesn't work. she has auto update on , so when it breaks it most frequently a breaking update. As far as I'm aware The folk at her workplaces have't done anything special for her, she looks like a windows client. I snap revert from time to time , and it works... then a new update comes and it updates, and it works. In a word (term) : "under development" David On Sat, Aug 22, 2020 at 10:57 AM Aruna Hewapathirane via talk < talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

That is a good point. I don't remember why but some time ago I couldn't get remmina to work (properly?) so I have been using a PPA version of the program for quite some time. Under Linux Mint I am using version 1.4.3+ppa202004152214.r795df10.d801df04~ubuntu16.04.1 Regarding my comment about the availability of RDP in Windows 10, my laptop has Windows 10 that was obtained as part of the free 8 to 10 update. When trying to activate RDP the Windows system tells I require an upgrade to Windows 10 Pro in order to have the RDP feature. -- Cheers!
