remote desktop client (NX)

[vinceASPECT]

Hello Forum,

Is there any kind of "remote desktop" tool available in the TC app store?

I need the tool to be able to talk to a distant machine via "NX Client" protocols. The distant
machine contains "neatNX" for connection protocols.

Thanks,

Vince.

I'm going to submit remmina and remmina-plugins today. It's a client, which supports many remote protocols, NX too.

[edit]
Now submitted. There's some annoying icon error though, which I'm trying to track down. Functionality seems to be not affected by that.

wow. Remmina with FreeRDP, that's fantastic. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for that!

Hello

I have tried the Reminna and plug ins but it did not work for me.

It was nearly identical to how the arrangement works from windows XP
however, Reminnna showed me the SESSIONS window for the remote
machine but there is no button to create a NEW session....also, just clicking
start returns an error  "nxproxy directory can't be found"

This error appears to be sent from the distant machine...because full connection
is established up until that point.....then the distant machine throws off the
connection   bye bye

i will try it with a totally flat distant machine containing NO previuos SESSIONS
and see if it works...

Thanks

Vince.

@vince: Testing is really appreciated, atm I don't have a NX server at hand, neither do I know enough about NX session handling... if there are errors, please post full logs of client and server.

Hello



Basically it looks like "NX proxy's" are not working right. Perhaps this version
of Reminna does not include NX?. Maybe NX appears in a menu but is not actually
enabled?

Also, it is not clear HOW to actually use Reminna. Perhaps i also need to install "freeRDP"?

but in summary, it looks to me like the "NX proxy" is not working right. Connections are fully established and the distant mahine then throws off the connection because
something is wrong with "NX proxy directory's" on the client.

THe distant machine contains "neatNX" server.

It is not too much of a problem for me. I can install ANY kind of proxy like VNC on the distant machine......and try the equivalent client tool.

The Reminna error handler shows all the logs. Will print it out here.

thanks

Vince.

Hm, I think you lack a very basic understanding of the techniques around remote desktop protocols, plugins, etc.

1) remmina is a graphical user interface to create connections to other pcs/servers. You click on "New" and create a connection.
2) remmina can be extended by remmina-plugins, which supports MS RDP, Nomachine NX, VNC and other protocols.
3) These plugins each might need some special programs additionally. E.g. MS RDP needs freerdp, NX needs nxproxy/nxcomp, etc.

freerdp doesn't deal with NX stuff at all. It's just installed as a dep of the RDP plugin. What you need is nxproxy and nxcomp. A few minutes ago there just was no nxproxy you could use in tinycore because there was no extension providing it. But now I did that and nxproxy is installed as a dep of remmina-plugins. So what's left for you to do?

Open a terminal and run

Code: [Select]

$ tce-update

...and try remmina again.

[edit]
You might have to install the nxproxy and shared-mime-info extension manually when updating since they are new.
