Any of you lucky enough to have a 770, have you tried Citrix linux arm client? It is from 2000 so it might be too old. I'd love to know if it works.
The software: http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downlo...oadID=3323#top
Haven't actually tested a connection yet (will try that tomorrow at work), and as it's not a Hildon-based application the HWR & virtual keyboard won't work.
The Citrix install file won't work with busybox's "expr" implementation and without "cpio". The application itself requires a few extra debs (which fortunately Debian/ARM can provide):
libxaw6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1_arm.deb
libxmu6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1_arm.deb
libxp6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1_arm.deb
libxpm4_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1_arm.deb
If I can get a working connection, I'll produce an Application Installer-ready package, although it may be of limited use.
HTH,
Andrew
P.S. Can anyone confirm if non-Hildon apps can have text entered with a Bluetooth keyboard?
Well, I can get a connection to our Metaframe server at work:
Unfortunately, as suspected, without a working keyboard I can't really get much further.
I can try and package up what I've got as an installable bundle, but the usual problems with non-Hildon apps (no input method, "hidden" windows, etc.) will be present.
I know that ICA is not the same as RDP but every WTS speaks RDP. For most purposes it should be sufficient to use RDP. For RDP there is an open source client for linux (http://www.rdesktop.org). Maybe this one can be used with maemo and hildon. Anyone able to check this?
I guess that remote desktop functions like Citrix is far more useful when the whole screen is used. Aflegg, can you try with a bluetooth keyboard? Another way is to start the on-screen keyboard via Narrator.exe. One can log in via citrix if the .ica file contains the following rows:
Username=Name
Domain=Domainname
Password=
ClearPassword=Password
Make sure that the Password= is followed by nothing. The *.ica file can be retrieved throught the URL that the Citrix login link points at.
When you are logged in, you can start the Narrator.exe and the On-Screen keyboard. I hope that point and click works on the N770!
