Hi,
During the trial of connecting to the remote (Windows) desktop.
I used the terminal server client,
Please note: I have succeed in connecting many times before (no need
question about the setting and the Windows other side work
functionally).
Weeell, I like to rule things out, 1x1 (just like isolation testing) ;-p
Just sometimes it failed to connect and showed me:�
ERROR: Channel_register ERROR: getaddrinfo name or service not known
I googled, seems something concerns the avahi, it suggested to try:
$ service avahi-daemon stop bash: service: command not found
I don't know how to proceed further,
Thanks,
Z.
Depending on the choices you made during install become root (su or
sudo) service won't run as a general user - it's just a short way of
accessing /etc/init.d/whatever action
# service avahi-daemon stop
In one of your other posts you asked what avahi is - it does zeroconf
and is made from wooly lemurs:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29
If you are using hostname to RDP it may be an issue that has symptoms
like you describe - in which case using the IP address (or adding the
hostname and IP address to /etc/hosts) should remove the problem
Are you in fact running Debian? (you quote Ubuntu in one of the other
posts you made on this problem)
I am running debian wheezy.
Thanks - I'm assuming that's grdesktop (a Gnome RDP gui), which uses
rdesktop (the CLI rdp client). I don't have any experience with
grdesktop so bear with me.
( Sorry, I mis-thought the Ubuntu was derived from debian.)
It is. Derived being the keyword. People here will help with Ubuntu
problems - but the problems may not be in Debian. No matter in this case.
<snipped>
There's no reported bugs of that nature for grdesktop.
Possible causes:-
;Problem with the Windoof machine (firewall settings, permissions, rdp
session invite expired, ip address)
;Problem with resolving the Windoof hostname to an IP address
;Problem with the rdesktop or grdesktop packages
Check the Windoof machine if you can - if access was via an "invite",
generate a fresh invite, if possible reboot Windoof.
If you don't know the Windoof machine IP address try using ping (as root
in a terminal window) to convert the Windoof hostname into a ip address)
Try connecting with grdesktop using the ip address instead of the
hostname. If the Windoof machine is not on the same sub-net this won't
necessarily work.
Post your results - if you are still having problems we can use rdesktop
to pinpoint the problem.
Also (I should have asked earlier) is the Windoof machine on the same
sub-net?
If it's not - is it behind a stand-alone firewall/router?
Are you enabling encryption?
Hope you're not in a hurry (other's can assist) - I'll be back in the
morning.
Cheers

Every time I read about a hijacking on the news I just think to myself
- just do it - let's see how far you get, I paid and didn't get off the
ground.
I've thought about that too - dreamed of it - putting a gun to the
pilot's head. That would feel so good.
