Can you just clarify for me: in order for someone else on another computer to see my computer--the very desktop that I am working on--what is the name of the software that is needed? Is it the RemoteDesktop RDP client, or the TightVNC VNC client? Or are both needed for this too work?

Good questions. Of course you need the server part (on your computer); neither RDP client nor VNC client will do the job. Upon inspection, the server part is not included in pcPuppyOS (neither vncserver nor x11vnc), so that's not a complete solution to your requirements. My mistake Sad

Perhaps I should try downloading what was recommended to me by Kirk. Although it seemed to be indicated for 4.0, is it likely it may work for 3.01?

If working on 3.01, I think that's indeed the route to take.

For anyone interested in using x11vnc in Puppy 3.01, I have tested Kirk's compiled version which he made for Puppy 4.0-- it installs and works perfectly in Puppy 3.01 as well.

Again, here is the link Kirk gave for the download. It works perfectly in 3.01!

Great!

I posted that info on Kirk's thread as well.

The TightVNC VNC client though when I open it, opens as a tiny 1 inch window and I'm not confident that it is working. It doesn't seem to have any functionality that I can see.
that is a password entry box

This is prototypical of the obstacles that stand in the way of making Linux accessible to the public. How is anyone--especially a new person--supposed to divine what this box is for?

There needs to be some concise indication of what is expected to be placed in that tiny box.

And also it should explain: whose password is expected to be placed there? Isn't this the application for allowing a user to view someone else's computer? And if so, then why isn't it requesting first that computer's IP address, after which it would ask for their password? The answers to these questions should be apparent in the initial window that opens when one clicks on this application.

Should we be making linux accessible to the public? I was just trying to help you with your problem, and getting it wrong. I'm thinking of the password box that appears when you start tightvnc from the command line having already stated the server and screen you wish to connect to. I have no idea what the box you are looking at is, sorry.

That's the sorry little GUI that tight vncviewer has. If you type vncviewer with no arguments, you'll see it. It's asking for:

<ip address>:<display number>

I did explain this a few posts above.

I'm running rdesktop from 3.01 under 4.0, following the installation of the files that support older GTK apps.

I'm running into a real problem... the client isn't stable... it regularly crashes (with no discernable rhyme or reason)

any thoughts/suggestions?

yup, there seems to be a problem with rdesktop
I've tried recompiling it from source but that hasn't helped.
It seems to be connected to carrying out specific actions on the target machine. IE if I keep reconnecting and try and carry out the same action the session dies in exactly the same place.

In a word: Crap!
I may have to downgrade to 3.01 (tho' I REALLY like 4.0), because that's the primary purpose for the machine (rdesktop)

PLEASE keep me/us informed, if you make any progress

Hairy/All

Has there been any headway made on the rdesktop not working? When I click it I don't get anything either.

That is all but my last step to not having to use xp on my laptop, but as a windows network admin... I kinda need RDP. Cool

Thanks

I think the 1.6 version of rdesktop should cure the crashing problem.

ME STUPID

I get an "x message" window when I try to open that rdesktop.bz2 file and nothing happens. I can't maximize that xmessage window it just sits there...

Looks like my Xarchive isn't working now... Weird.







Got that extracted to usr/bin and click on it... nothing, restart... nothing...


It seems to work in the terminal, but I'm way too noob for that, especially with production servers being 'in play'.
