http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi, The host machine is Ubuntu 64bit, latest release. Windows 2008 R2 running on VMWARE, workstation 7.0. I have LTSP clients running Fedora 10, which are connecting to the Windows 2008 R2, using Remote Desktop Connection. Only one application I have problem seeing the mouse, since its white on white. I would like to change the color of the mouse to black. I tried several options for RDC like -a 16 for 16 bit graphics, but to no avail. What can I do to have a better Remote Desktop environment? Is there another Remote Desktop Client that I can use? How good and easy is TightVNC? Which other (HowTos)

Hello--high tech savvy user here but relatively new to linux and ubuntu. I'm using VCXSRV, version 1.12.99.0 (the latest version as of yesterday) to do remote login (remote desktop) from a Windows 7 laptop to a Ubuntu 12.04 workstation using a VPN connection using XDMCP. Connection is functional, the desktop appears, and I can see desktop icons of my ubuntu workstation remotely on my laptop.

I am using the Remmina remote desktop connection on Ubuntu 12.04 to create RDP connection. The system on the remote desktop is Windows Server 2003 RC Standard 64 edition which logs off by itself randomly. It terminates the connection, so you have to re-connect.

For example: Terminates when I want to switch to another application or simply change the desktop.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. When I enable Remote Desktop and connect via TightVNC I can't see any windows on the VNC screen - I just see what looks like a default desktop, not the customised desktop on the console.

I run a small network with around 50 remote clients using VPN to connect to Head office.VPN is built using no-ip.org as DNS.I am unable to RDP to one of remote client wheras the same clinet is able to RDP to my workstation.Kindly advise solution for above problem.

We have approximately 20 Mac desktops in a Windows Server 2008 environment - that are managed with Apple Remote Desktop. These desktops have a variety of Office for Mac installations - Office 2008, Office 2011, and running at various patch levels.

I'd like to use Apple Remote Desktop for triggering of updates. Has anyone done this before with any success?

I need to create one application based on rdp(Remote Desktop Protocol) , which enables you to connect to your Windows computers across the Internet from your mobile device(ANDROID).

I moved to Ubuntu on my local machines at home. I have 1 desktop computer with no monitor,mouse or keyboard attached, and two laptops. The idea is to run the heavy tasks (compilation, long downloads etc.) on the "server" (the desktop) and control it by the laptops.

I have open SSH on the desktop. I have no problem connecting by SSH to the desktop.

I tried two methods of remote controll
