Has that (WayVNC) been ported to CL?
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve looked at it (Rustdesk), and building it looks pretty involved: it’s not at all clear to me what package I should be downloading (the .rpm by any chance? Which one? Fedora or Suse?), nor does it emerge very clearly what are the building commands etc. I am also seeing conflicting info about Wayland compatibility. All in all, I don’t see it happening in reasonable time … unless you’d care to assist me in this enterprise, that is.
It can be run as a docker container :
https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk#how-to-build-with-docker
Prebuild
https://hub.docker.com/r/rustdesk/rustdesk-server
docker pull rustdesk/rustdesk-server
Thanks. Looks like I need to install Docker on my CL: would you mind pointing out the bundle that does that please? (And, more importantly, does it actually work? And I say that because, as you probably already know, I have been quite surprised to come across many officially-released and up-to-date bundles that do not actually work! Now, why would they go to the trouble of releasing and especially maintaining bundles that do not work, I wonder?)
So I finally got around to installing Docker. I downloaded the pre-built rustdesk-server image you recommended, created a container sudo docker create --name rustdesk-server <ImageID>
, and then ran sudo docker start rustdesk-server
. Now how can I tell if the server actually started?
Also, do you know for a fact that rustdesk-server supports Wayland? As far as I can tell form doing some reading on their website, it doesn’t look like it does.
That was the first thing I did when gnome-remote-desktop came out on CL a while ago. It does not work for me. Does it work for you? Did you actually try it? If yes, I wonder what I am doing wrong … Maybe missing some dependencies?
How long ago did you try this?
Anyway, I haven’t tried that in a while, so I will give it another shot later today: maybe some of the newer updates fixed it.
What client were you using? I use Remmina. Are you on Wayland or Xorg?
Just in case you guys were still agonizing over this , note that gnome-remote-desktop works a treat in the newest CL releases. Not sure when exactly this started happening, but I tried it out on a whim this morning (#39750), and was pleasantly surprised to notice that remote desktop in CL under Wayland is no longer a missing feature. Kudos to CL devs., and long live Clear Linux!
Rustdesk also works fine with minor hiccups.
