Remote Desktop Viewer

[alexus]

I'm trying to use "Remote Desktop Viewer" to connect to remote server.
I opened "Remote Desktop Viewer", switched "Protocol" to "RDP" then entered my "Host" and my "Username" and clicked "Connect".

Code: Select all

gnome-session: Password: connected to uftwfbkpsvr02:3389
gnome-session: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
gnome-session: @           WARNING: CERTIFICATE NAME MISMATCH!           @

gnome-session: SSL_write: Failure in SSL library (protocol error?)
gnome-session: Authentication failure, check credentials.
gnome-session: If credentials are valid, the NTLMSSP implementation may be to blame.

What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?
Please advise.
Thank you!

Why don't you use Remmina?

Code: Select all

yum –y install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

and if you need VNC

Code: Select all

yum –y install remmina-plugin-vnc

or install remmin with all plugins RDP, VNC, NX, XDMCP and SSH

Code: Select all

yum –y install remmina remmina-plugin-*

Why can't I use "Remote Desktop Viewer" instead?

"remmina" is part of which repo?

[igorek24]

Remmina is in nux-dextop repo. I couldn't connect to anything with "Remote Desktop Viewer" but Remmina is bullet proved, at least for me. Another option that I like, would be freerdp but its all trrminal

Exemple:

Code: Select all

xfreerdp -z --disable-wallpaper -u MyUsername -a 32 -g 1152x864  192.168.1.100

Hope this helps.

To expand on igorek24's xfreerdp answer:

• "Applications->Utilities->Remote Desktop Viewer" really runs "vinagre"
• vinagre may not work to connect to a Windows box because it doesn't show a certificate warning to you, it just dies silently. As you've seen you can view the error by running vinagre from the command line, but it doesn't let you answer the cert warning question.
• vinagre is actually just acting as a frontend to the xfreerdp client. If you run xfreerdp from the command line you can answer the cert warning and connect.

Nux's version of Remmina - The GTK+ Remote Desktop Client is very old and has the problems, that have been fixed months ago with Remmina 1.1.X or Remmina 1.2.X.

Code: Select all

[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep ^remmina
remmina-1.0.0-8.el7.nux.x86_64
remmina-plugins-rdp-1.0.0-8.el7.nux.x86_64
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core) 
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ 

Anyone tried following? Compile on Fedora 20 · FreeRDP/Remmina Wiki.

[Nux]

Remmina doesn't have enough problems for someone to drop me a line requesting updates.

I'll see what I can do.

Later edit: newer remmina requires newer freerdp, newer freerdp requires overwriting Base, no can do. Remmina 1.0 works reasonably well in my experience though.

au contraire mon frère Help -> About = 0.9.99.1 not even 1.0

I have to click on "Resize the window to fit remote resolution" to see my RDP session. · Issue #387 · FreeRDP/Remmina

Code: Select all

[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ rpm -q freerdp
freerdp-1.0.2-5.el7.x86_64
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ 

I'm sure a lot of users would LOVE to get newer version of Remmina (The GTK+ Remote Desktop Client).

Ok, mon frere, try this out and let me know if it helps (zero testing done):
