Remote connection to Mageia Desktop needed

[msdobrescu]

Hello,

I need to connect remotely to my Mageia 3 from another PC (which runs Windows also).
What remote connection (desktop) tools are available?

Thank you.

there are arious ways of doing what you want.

1: if you only need to display a single app on windows desktop then you need to install xdisplay server on windows like exceed or Xming.

then putty into magei abox from windows (putty is another windows app)

and run

DISPLAY=ipaddressofwindowsbox:0
export DISPLAY
run mageia xwindows app

it should display on exceed if its setup right


alternative is to connect to mageia desktop completly like you do with remotedesktop in windows.

for this use xvnc

xvncserver needs to be running on mageia desktop

xvncclient on windows

xvncclient connects _> server and displaays what mageia machine is running

Thanks, Peter. This deserves to go to The magician suggests... in my opinion.
