your Windows computer to remote control the Windows computer. In autoselected keyboard map en-us error: failed to open display: other words, while you are sitting in front of your Ubuntu computer at home, you can log rdesktop without gui into and access your Windows computer as if you are sitting in front of the Windows computer. See remote desktop software (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_desktop_software). rdesktop and VNC and http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/rdesktop-problems-604101/ Terminal Server Client (comparison) There is another similar program called VNC. VNC is slow compared to rdesktop and VNC connection is unencrypted while rdesktop connection is encrypted by default. But there is a way to use VNC with encrypted connection (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH). VNC works on almost all operating systems. See comparison of remote desktop software https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-824710.html (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software). Terminal Server Client (Applications > Internet > Terminal Server Client) is a GUI front-end to VNC and rdesktop. If you open Terminal Server Client, you will see Protocol option (RDP, RDPv5, VNC), RDP and RDPv5 are for rdesktop connection. You should use Terminal Server Client if it works fine and if you are ok with this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdesktop/+bug/103208). If you want more control (such as connecting a specific local folder or other device redirection, hiding or keeping window manager decoration, using seamlessRDP), use rdesktop following this guide. What to do on the Windows side (the server side) The Windows computer you will connect to must be running Windows XP Pro or a higher version of Windows. * If you have a weak Windows login password (such as john1, aaaaaaaaaaaaa, abcabc), change it to a stronger password that is longer than 10 characters and that is not a combination of words that can be found on a dictionary.
