How to share a desktop? (for tutoring)
I have a need to share a minimal desktop, VNC is out of the question as it's extremely heavy. But I haven't been able to find anything on desktop sharing with FreeNX, and there doesn't seem to be any RDP servers for Linux. Anyone have any suggestions? Ideally I would run the session on a Linux box, and connect to it from at least one Windows machine and the other could be either Windows or Linux. -- Fedora 10 (www.pembo13.com) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It is simpler and uses less resources than any other screen sharing system around as near as I can tell. I often marvel at how small and self contained it is :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It's network requirements are significantly higher thant NX/FreeNX or Microsoft's RDP -- Fedora 10 (www.pembo13.com) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

RDP doesn't seem to a Linux server which supports desktop sharing, FreeXN doesn't seem to support desktop sharing, and Nomachine is a bit costly for this small need. -- Fedora 10 (www.pembo13.com) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I wish I could remember where I ran across the howto about using rdesktop on Windows to connect to a Fedora system.

I believe the RDP server is already installed. At least it is on my F10 system. To activate it, in Gnome, you go to System --> Preferences --> Internet and Network --> Remote Desktop. That's the integrated vino vnc server isn't it?

There are also RDP clients for Linux. I believe there is a Wiki page on this - at least I remember reading about it somewhere. The rdesktop package has been included in Fedora for a while. Yes, the default desktop sharing stuff for Fedora is VNC-based. I tend to use the vnc Xorg module. The Gnome menu path: System->Preferences->Internet and Network->Remote Desktop invokes vino. As to a client, you could use vncviewer or vinagre. FreeNX is available, but I've never gotten it to work nicely. Granted, I've never spent much time trying. There is an RDP server for Linux (xrdp, http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/), but it's not packaged for Fedora and it doesn't share the main desktop but sets up a separate X desktop using twm (I think). Building it is pretty stupid simple, however I've never used it. The RDP client has been shipped with Fedora for a long time. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ri...@nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 22643734Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - Silence!

It works by converting from RDP to VNC, so if you share your desktop with Vino, you can connect to it via RDP once you have configured xrdp properly. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
