kubunturdpvnc
I've had another post on here dealing with beta version/realvnc, I've since started over and am using Kubuntu 14.10 with KDE plasma (the gold release).
At this point I'm looking for any solution to remote desktop or VNC from my windows 8.1 to Kubuntu 14.10 with KDE plasma (not version 5, its the KDE 4.1 I believe, whatever comes with final release of 14.10)
any suggestions on an RDP or VNC which will work?
thanks AJ
I'm using right now FreeNx in production, and in the past our company has been a NoMachine customer. We use FreeNX on the server and the proprietary but free NoMachine client on the desktops (both Ubuntu and Windows).
The relationship isn't complex, NoMachine had a proprietary product (free as in beer up to 3 users) but releases the back-end stuff as open source. FreeNx is build with this back-end and is always somewhat less polished, and a couple of versions behind the NoMachine server. NoMachine has announced on December 21th 2010 that the next version it's NX technology (NxServer 4) will be close source only.
x2go was another company that build a open source product based on NoMachine open source libs.
Finally, Google has released NeatX, a complete independent implementation of the NX protocol. It's far from complete but usable, and totally open source.
So, recap you needs:
Make sure port 3389 is opened on your firewall and router.
In Remmina edit your connection, click the "Advanced" tab and choose RDP under the "Security" option and save.
