Has anyone managed to get COS2 to play well as a Remote Desktop Server?

I have tried XRDP but it just displays blank.

I guess the fancy COS window manager is not compat?

Hmmmm. I'll have to try that out some time.
I guess if all else fails there's Teamviewer, but it isn't as user friendly as the Windows version.
I also vaguely recall VLC being able to do something remote wise.
I need to get back to you on this one.

Edit: I meant VNC. Doah!

Yeah it's weird isn't it.

I tried 2 different RDP clients.

I'll see if VNC works, though it is likely to be too inefficient to do any of the Emulation etc as a remote screen. RDP has been quite good at that in the past with Linux believe it or not!

I don't think I would dare use teamviewer 8-( (Such a pity)

I managed to get tightVNC server to work ok.

Its a little sluggish, i'll have a look around and see what works.

What about vino?

Did you get the Compiz effects working via tightVNC?

The problem may be Compiz as it doesn't display the desktop the regular way.
A solution is described here.

Yeah it seems all the effects are working fine via TightVNC server, quite impressive actually.

Pitty VNC doesn’t do sound though.

Real VNC appears to, but it requires a subscription.
