realender / winconn Goto Github PK

Hello,

I'm attempting to connect from Ubuntu 16.04 to Windows 10 for remoteapp. Works 100% fine from Windows to Windows. However once configured in your app, the program attempts to launch a remote Desktop Session, logs in and craps out.

However if I do the command manually in terminal

xfreerdp /u:** /p:* /app:"||Microsoft Excel" /v:192..168.1.2

Excel loads up just fine for me.

I initially used the ppa download and dpkg rebuild trick to install and thought that might've muffed something. So I then removed the application and reinstalled by building the source for git hub.

Any ideas?

Alex you might want to add a README file to the github to tell people how to build WinConn as you mentioned in the email to me.

I've moved winconn to github:
https://github.com/RealEnder/winconn
With this version, I've moved to new xfreerdp commandline options and fixed dependencies.

Generally, you can build it with:
git clone https://github.com/RealEnder/winconn

then:
cd winconn
dpkg-buildpackage

If you have dependencies needed (it should cry for them), you'll have the .deb packages built successfully and installable. This works with 15.10, but should work with other versions also.

The problem here is with current freerdp (2.0.0-dev) they have RemoteAPP regressions - partial window shown, window froze and etc.

Please let me know If you have stable RemoteAPP functionality with concrete freerdp version. There are bugs submitted against freerdp, I'll keep checking their status.

Any dev help with winconn is welcome.

Hi, I'm getting the following error while trying to build winconn. I'm new to Ubuntu MATE and it would be great if you could guide me.

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: build-essential:native debhelper (>= 8) python-distutils-extra (>= 2.10)
