Does anybody here want to make a short video to show how rDesktop looks like?
I'd like to compare it to VNCviewer.
Since I've never used a Maemo device before I want to see how things work before I buy one :P
Sounds reasonable right?

Here is my other request for a VNCviewer video

Thanks to cddiede I know how vnc works.

Hoping one of you can help me out on this one.

Thanks in advance

When you use vnc you you can control/view it even if somene else logged in. Others in front of machine you logged on can see whats happening. This doesn;t happen with RDP, you actually logon to machine directly

If you've got the .deb file, then "dpkg -i" in the XTerminal will install it.

I just created a new blog entry detailing rDesktop. I'm sure I can do an entry on VNCViewer as well since I have that installed as well:

Your response appreciated!

After a year maybe, now it is just a demo for Linux programmers. For true use and avoiding any further headaches please find yourself with another phone (selected models of Samsung or iPhone, they will do the job for today's needs)

thanks Robin, my Linux experience is my n810, so i am a biginer. I saw the "dpkg -i" post earlier however i am not sure how to find the file if it is in my "documents" folder.

What would be of great help to me is the "command line" i should type as it should appear in Xterminal.

so as not to be blunt, can you do it for me so I can cut and past.
thanks, Tim.

Thanks to everyone who participated on these blogs.
I am liking my n900 a little more now that I have RDP back.

So to install first you need root assess: http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access
then you need to know the location of your .deb file (here i cant help much)

I found one common folder in the "File Manager" "cities" its path is /home/user/MyDocs/cities/
I moved "rdesktop_1.7-maemo1_armel.deb" (https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=214) to that folder.
in Xterminal I used the "cd" and "ls" commands to locate it.

then I ran "dpkg -i rdesktop_1.7-maemo1_armel.deb" from the "/home/user/MyDocs/cities/" folder and rDesktop installed and it works well.

Now I need to know how to send an F4 key press through rDesctop from my N900 any help?

thanks to the people who do all this stuff.

When you start File Manager, it begins by pointing to the MyDocs directory. A lot of the directories shown there are hidden (prefixed with a .) so will not show with a normal ls - you can use "ls -a" to see these though.
