RE: Remote login

["Duncan Garland" <duncan garland ntlworld com>]

Hi Leland,

I've that that but it doesn't work. xrdp installed easily enough using
apt-get.

When I connected using the XP Remote Desktop Connection, the default module
was sessman-Xvnc. When I connected using that I had the same problem as
before,
the menu with "Applications System and Places" was frozen.

None of the other modules would connect. I killed the vnc server and tried
to connect using sessman-X11rdp. That failed with the message "error - only
supporting 8 and 16 bpp rdp connections."

All the best.

Duncan

Duncan;

I don't know if you considered it but have you looked at trying xrdp? I've
used vncserver on several Fedora boxes and it works once it is setup right.
I tried xrdp and that was simple to install as running the package manager,
start the xrdp server daemon and I was done. From the Windows box I used the
Remote Desktop Connection application, Microsoft's Terminal Services client,
to connect. You get a graphical login like you get at the locally connect
console screen. With any luck you have it available for your distro and the
install script takes care of setting things up, mostly, for you.
