Remote Connection Manager Released
 

Hi,
Remote Connection Manager 0.2 is released : it manages for you evrething that you want to launch in xterm or not : ssh, ftp, rdesktop ... and handle your username, host address of special parameters for you : like if you want to launch ssh with port forwarding or anything else. It is based on grcm but had to be replastered a lot to work on OS2008; Check it out at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/connectionmanag/ or via the App Manager or https://downloads.maemo.org/product/...nnectionmanag/
and let me know...
Fred

PS : Iknow that xterm launch 2 windows and doesn't show anything if there is a problem but it's the way osso-xterm handle that ... I'll try and propose a patch if time permits ...

Very nice, I'll be sure to check it out !

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

has anyone got Rdesktop working on OS 2008???....mine just closes when i try to connect to my pc!

Any ideas??

Thanx!

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

@jackass124: Yes, Rdesktop works for me under OS2008. I noticed that the program sometime closes down if I don't use the correct ip-configuration. Have you set up a static ip?

Hi Fred,

For some reason the application dies silently while I'm still in the setup of the accounts.
For example I tried to set a new type for the ssh and it took several attempts only to have this set and saved.

Another thing I notice is that the thumbnails you provide have root privileges.

Many thanks for the effort. This seems that will become yet another very useful app from you!!

All the best,
Chris

Thanks Chris,
I'll have a look at this ...

Well, it doesn't happen when launch from xterm so I suppose it is DBus related ... but then it's quite late ...

I released version 0.3 that should fix those obvious bugs
Thanks Chris ;)

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

I seem to have messed up my configuration of grcm 0.3. When I attempt to start it it exits with a seg fault.

Uninstalling and Reinstalling the package doesn't reset the configuration.

Anyone know where is the configuration data stored so I can delete it?

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

configuration is held in GConf. path : "/apps/grcm/*"

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

Sorry for being a newb, but...

There is no /apps at all.

There is an apps in my /home/user directory, but in there is only camera, email, and omweather located there.

I found grcm in /usr/bin, but that is the executable.

What am I missing?

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

The settings are kept in gconf which you can compare to regedit for Windows ...
there is a gconf tool available from the command line : in xterm type gconf <tab>
There was a Gconf Editor for OS2007 but I could never find an OS2008 version or the sources ...

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/grcm

got the job done, thanks fredoll.

Now I know about gconftool, or at least that it exists! So much more to go.

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

I installed grcm from the application manager (v0.3) in OS2008 and the only type of connections it is allowing me to create are FTP. I have the OpenSSH client installed and can use ssh from the commandline, but the ssh connection type does not show up in grcm. Is there something I have to manually configure outside of grcm to get this to work?

Re: Remote Connection Manager Released
 

yes you have to configure a new connection type for ssh via the menu
