![]() ![]() This is a great point to mention the following: If I weren't so eager to restore from the previous night's backup using Timeshift, I would have tried plugging a separate mouse and keyboard into the laptop to troubleshoot the laptop device issues further. Upon reboot, I reach the desktop session login screen, but my mouse, keyboard, and touchscreen were completely unresponsive on my Dell Inspiron 13-7352 SE however, I was not able to successfully RDP to the laptop. ![]() I have tried the steps in this thread, and the following somewhat older thread on the same topic, with no success: viewtopic.php?t=272329 In the meantime I am using NoMachine, which is reliable, but I am not pleased with the multiple monitor and resolution support. I also share the OPs sentiment about desiring xrdp capabilities in Linux Mint, and I will share any findings I discover while I attempt to achieve the same. I would like to contribute my experience with adding RDP "server" support to Linux Mint, in that I have had essentially the same exact experience as the OP. New to Linux Mint 19.3 user here, working through the same as the OP. If that's what you're looking for, let me know and I'll go into more detail on what I managed in the cases that worked. On Linux, TightVNC creates a second desktop, invisible to the user, so it's kind of useless for pointing things out to another user but it is very good for literal behind the scenes maintenance. In my case, as I mentioned, I installed TightVNC. Again, this is something you'd have had to do on Windows, so presumably you have this, or something similar, already set up. You would need to modify the router again, to pass incoming UDP and TCP/IP packets on port 1194 to the machine you want to control. I've had decent luck with OpenVPN, installing as a server on your elders' machine, and client on yours. This part, of course, is the same for both Windows and Linux, so presumably you've already handled that.įor the second you'd need some form of virtual private network (VPN). You'll also need to set their router to keep the machine you want to control at a static internal IP. I have no experience with the first, all my clients use static IP, but you might want to sign up with one of the DDNS services supported by their router. The first is to be able to find their machine out on the Internet the second is to be able to connect to it safely, without allowing anyone else to do that and the third is to control it. I did - There are three parts to this, of course. Newbie Bumping this to see if you've gotten further? A simple configuration and perhaps notification applet and bingo! On my Raspberry pi it is excellent and hasn't had any significant issues and hasn't gone down once in many months. rdp used by millions if by no other virtue than its requirement and inclusion and use in MS environmentsĭoesn't this seem like a good option to provide a true remote desktop for Mint? Other than it creates a problem where I can't login locally, when it is working it is a great experience.is in active development has had source code commits within the past 3 days - new release 8 days ago (x11vnc hasn't been touched since 2009 it appears) - Vino has moved on and what can be made to work on Mint has no settings UI and is unstable.many different 3rd party viewers on every platform. ![]() cross-platform (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, FreeBSD) - SPARC, PowerPC.NOT a proprietary, commercial intermediary that sends data elsewhere (Teamviewer, NoMachine, Anydesk). ![]() If I can get this working I intend on writing a mini tutorial/FAQ for others and campaign to have it added to the distro. I'd like to suggest it would be a good option for any user now that vino is gone. Mint currently lacks an integrated remote desktop solution. Connection worked from all clients I tested from 3 machines and all is well - works when tested locally and remotely. I followed many different tutorials and walkthroughs posted here and ubuntu forums (albeit none for 19.x as I've found nothing other than posts recommending things like Teamviewer or other solutions that require a proprietary intermediary which I won't use) This is after a fresh install of 19.3 圆4 cinnamon- the only thing I did was install the various servers/clients listed above - using those available in the default repositories (and backed out each when they didn't work). I'd prefer to use RDP so I don't have to have multiple rdp/vnc viewers on my machines. I have a raspberry pi and x11rdp works flawlessly from a windows RDP or Remmina or TightVNC client. I've tried more than one VNC server (x11vnc got the closest - a desktop that only has the upper left quarter of the screen visible - vino is slow and eventually crashes no matter what I enable/disable) and x11rdp. ![]()
