[PLUG] Other options besides VNC (or RDP)
I'm looking for any other options to remote into a graphical desktop besides VNC or RDP. I'd like a client that runs on Linux and Android with MAC and Windows a bonus. Server should run on Linux with Android, MAC and Windows as another bonus. I remember coming across something, while searching for something compeletely different, but the name now eludes me. Must be a case of CRS. :-( TIA, Rod -- ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

I haven't looked at it in a few years and after a quick review of NoMachine ver. 5, it's very clear that there has been extensive development done. Some great features to me are: multiple monitor support, headless linux server and extended x-window support. I wish I currently had a reason to use it. I may have to invent one! ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

TeamViewer. It works amazingly well, and is also priced at the level of something that works amazingly well. -wes On Fri, Feb 17, 2017 at 5:16 PM, Roderick Anderson wrote: > I'm looking for any other options to remote into a graphical desktop > besides VNC or RDP. > > I'd like a client that runs on Linux and Android with MAC and Windows a > bonus.

Essentially, one X server on a box with X clients on everything else (recall that for X the server and the client do not have to exist on the same machine.). Then there is XDMCP built into X.Org (the typical X server these days) More turnkey, and cross platform, methods are: X2Go (NX technology, F/OSS) http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php Teamviewer (proprietary, possible security issues for some, Linux is actually Windows code in a Wine wrapper) https://www.teamviewer.com/ No Machine (NX technology, proprietary) https://www.nomachine.com/everybody Have fun! ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Re: [PLUG] Other options besides VNC (or RDP)
Beside already mentioned TeamViewer, I also successfully used Nomachine (nomachine.com) and NetViewer renamed to GoToMeeting (gotomeeting.com) They are not free to use as VNC, so your OSsupport/longevity/cost/exist ence will likely change over time.

Re: [PLUG] Other options besides VNC (or RDP)
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and ideas. I'll be looking into them. To expand on the why: I am looking at a Raspberry Pi running headless to connect to my Yaesu FT-857D and Signalink USB. Then use a phone, tablet or laptop as the terminal. This way I don't have to dedicate my netbook, laptop, tablet or phone. There would also be the option to connect a display, keyboard and mouse or some combination of them to the Pi. Again thanks for the replies.

Re: [PLUG] Other options besides VNC (or RDP)
I guess I am being a bit dense here, but I do not see a reason not to use VNC for controlling a rig under RPi control. I used to get into my RPi's all the time from some variant of VNC on a phone/tablet/laptop/desktop choose your OS poison... I use (been a while) Chirp on a RPi to control a Icom handheld, I run it headless and use a tablet to VNC into the thing and program the radio. I just turn on the RPi, as soon as I see the network ligth start flashing in a certain way I know it is talking to my little ittybitty pocket router. I pull up the tablet ping it, if it pings, I VNC into it and fire up Chirp then mod the radio shut it down and I am done. I think that is about the only thing I use VNC for, the rest of it is all term- inal sessions or I have a UI on the screen in front of me.

Re: [PLUG] Other options besides VNC (or RDP)
Thnaks for the insight Chuck. My first plan was to use VNC but I did want to check other options. Reading this I realized a router in the mix might be better than running a DHCP server on the RPi. Which router do you use? With a quick search it looks like the TP-Link N150 or the newer N300 would be good choices.

Re: [PLUG] Other options besides VNC (or RDP)
I use a Microtik router, but I have moved the DHCP and DNS to an RPi 3. It works well. I am on Hughesnet which totally sucks, if you get stuck on it turn off the stinking "web accelerator" it is really a proxy and uses their DNS which could not find the address at times if it was at the front door. As soon as I get a good job, we are going to move to somewhere that we can get proper net- work access. Like I said earlier I use VNC to get into an RPi that I run Chip on, so I can do changes to my HT. I carry a little "mobile router" with me. I turn it on and let the tablet and RPi start talking, then I set up a VNC to the RPi program my radio and get out or leave it there and play around with things.
