Remote Desktop Connection

[shadowcatt]

Thanks in advance and the new Distro seems AWESOME!!

My issue is that I can't connect remotely to my other box's in my LAN. I have 4 other box's all running the 2010 distro but I cant connect to them. I have tried Putty, tightvnc and KRDC and all do the same........connection refused or can't connect (111). Before installing 2010 i was using 2009 with KDE 3 and had no issues whatso ever. Could someone please help me out and let me know what I am missing please? (I did get connected once but the screen was frozen ie more like a screen snapshot)

Thanx again,
Dave

Have you started the appropriate services?  For PuTTY, you would need to ensure you're running sshd on the remote machine.
For VNC (and KRDC?), you would need to be sure you share your desktop (not running KDE atm, so can't check the specifics...will check back)

sorry for the delay.....

still no luck. All seems to be installed and I have now tried ssh and I get rejected (error 22) using this method. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated



Okay...now I can connect but the connection on the client screen is just a 'still' image even though I can control the remote PC. (ie mouse movements are visible on the remote PC)

Could we get the entire error?  Perhaps it is rejecting the connection on port 22?  If so, that would indicate that you do not have the ssh server running on the remote host.

This is using what method/application to connect to the remote host?

For VNC (and KRDC?), you would need to be sure you share your desktop (not running KDE atm, so can't check the specifics...will check back)

Sharing the desktop in kde is configured with krfb..  when the GUI opens click the configure button and the the security button and check only the top two boxes, and set a password.  Once this is done it should work using krdc from your remote machine (Hint: to connect to the running desktop session use IP:0  ..ie 192.168.1.101:0  ).

More info on other configuration options / methods for KDE4 can be found here:

Server (to allow connection on remote machine): http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdenetwork/krfb/
