[EN] Remote Control Suggestions?

[dlalias2k1]

Since updating, I'm not able to get Splashtop or X2Go to easily run with the new KDE and other updates.


[size=78%]KRFB works fine, but it won't work until I login. [/size]Anyone got a recommendation for X remote control?

Unfortunately your phrase: 'since updating' says nothing at all.

I used updating poorly. I mean installing the December release onto a new machine, the following remote apps no longer work "out of the box":


Splashtop (Won't run cause of dependency issues, it requires older versions of libpulse0 and libx264-123)
X2Go  (Won't run for some unknown reason, Log only shows an SSH connection and then that it disconnects after authentication but before it can launch the remote session, I'm planning on turning verbosity up to get more information)
Tightvncserver (Attempting to run creates a session, but attempting to connect to said session results in plasma-desktop crashing)


"x11vnc -create" works with xvfb, but is less than ideal for it's overhead.
I'm in progress of working through the X2Go issue, since it's my weapon of choice, unfortunately one of the apps I need, requires desktop access. So I was wondering if anyone had any other easy remote screen suggestions in the mean time.

No problem here.

If I use ignore-depends I can get it to install, but then it wants to remove the package next time I run apt-get. How did you get around that, If I may ask?

[devil]

Did you try apt-get -f install when it hints you on the dependencies?

Yep, It removes splashtop.

You have to unpack the deb, fix the control-file for the dependencies , repack to deb and install it.
