Instructions

1. Telnet in

  1. mkdir /media/gbin
  2. cd /media/gbin
  3. wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/279536/rdesktop
  4. wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/279536/libsamplerate.so.0
  5. chmod a+x rdesktop
  6. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/gbin
  7. export DISPLAY=localhost:0
  8. ./rdesktop 192.168.10.201 -f -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD

and rdesktop popped up OVER the juggler OS, with touch screen working and everything... :D


(the wget files can be lifted from your own ubuntu installation if you would rather not download random binaries... the export LD_LIBRARY_PATH tells it to look in that dir for .so file (the linux .dll's) The export DISPLAY tells it to connnect to the xserver on the juggler itself The -f means fullscreen in the rdesktop command

To kill the rdesktop session, either logout through windows, or press ctrl+c on the telnet session.

todo: Try to make it able to be kicked off without using telnet, so it boots straight into a rdesktop session... shouldnt be too hard.

Some Errors

  • ERROR: Failed to open keymap en-us

WARNING: rdp_out_unistr: iconv_open[ANSI_X3.4-1968 -> UTF-16LE] fail 0xffffffff roblem is that my remote desktop is not enabled... retried and worked as charm !

  • The error about ERROR: Failed to open keymap en-us

is because a 'proper' install of rdesktop includes different keymaps for different keyboards, and i didnt lift them (it doesnt matter as the joggler lacks a keyboard... might make a usb keyboard act like a american one instead of british etc tho)

  • The error WARNING: rdp_out_unistr: iconv_open[ANSI_X3.4-1968 -> UTF-16LE] fail 0xffffffff

I dont have a clue! but it seems to work. Im guessing its converting ANSI to UTF somewhere and encountering an illegal characters... doesnt seem to stop it working tho...

  • WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24; falling back to 16

This one is self explanatory...
