Hi, I'm newbie so I don't even know how to open this program (Rdesktop)?
Mint 11 have it by default in if I search in package manager I can see that it's installed.
But if I go to Menu--> Search (I can't find or open them) even Alt+F2 is useless

It might be a command line program. Try opening your terminal and type sudo rdesktop

Try typing 'rdesktop' at the command line and look at the options, or go to the website - http://www.rdesktop.org/

sudo is not necessary.wyrdoak wrote:It might be a command line program. Try opening your terminal and type sudo rdesktop
Code: Select all
rdesktop $remotehost -u $userID -p $password -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -g 80% &
$userID is the LoginID on the target system
$password is your Windows password on target system.
-r is remote clipboard enabled (trust me, you want it)
-g is 80% of your computer's display
& forks it in the background (I use shell a LOT)
or you can use
Alt+F2 and run
Code: Select all
rdesktop $remotehost -u $userID -p $password -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -g 80%
