I've created a little & simple PyQt4 GUI for RDP client. FreeRDP (old and new version) and RDesktop are supported. Can be used in every Linux arm/x86 board/pc, you just need python-qt4 package.
Just copy files in /usr/bin/, edit rdpgui.ini to match you rdp server env and add @python /usr/bin/rdpgui.py in autostart.
More infos and source code here: https://github.com/Gibbio/RDPGUI

Thanks Gibbio! I'll definitely check this out.
ReplyDeleteHi! Is it possible to add an input field for "server" at the GUI. Would be great!
ReplyDeletereleased a new version, now domain can be insered into username field like in windows os. Ex: DOMAIN\username
Deleteotherwise config.ini parameter will be used
Cool!
DeleteI would need the following feature. From the Terminal it should be possible to connect to different Windows Workstations.
in lastest version you can put multiple server on config.ini
DeleteIf you are still interested (or anyone else is looking for this functionality),
DeleteI have created a fork of this excellent tool for this very purpose on GitHub: https://github.com/DaveStott/RDPGUI
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI would like to use your script, but I can not make it work. I´m not linux guru so if ask for stupid thing be patient with me.
When I try tu run your script, I get this :
rpitc@rpitc-:~$ sudo python /usr/bin/rdpgui.py
sudo: unable to resolve host rpitc-
[sudo] password for rpitc:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Please update to lastest version (updated 10mins ago). Put all the file *.py *.ini *.png in the same folder
DeleteI installed your newest release everything works fine except wlan tool is not picking up the Raspberry Pi wifi dongle. I can however get ip through Ethernet. Did I missing something? Please let me know if you need anything from me such as logs.
ReplyDeleteI am looking into using the Raspberry as a thin client for RDP'ing into virtual machine running on my Debian server (using VirtualBox). I was wondering what performance I get on a local network using UTP cable. I just want to hide my lumpy server somewhere and login via the Pi attached to the back of my monitor. Can anyone comment on lagginess and overall desktop performance (webbrowsing, document editting, no video)?

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI installed your newest release on my raspberry wheezy release but it don't work...
When I modify the autostart file, my raspberry boot on a prompt and nothing append...
Can you help me?
Thanks
Hi
ReplyDeleteI am testing this on the x86 version at the moment (new install), logged in as armtc, run the below...
sudo firefox
(download all files as above to /usr/bin)
sudo apt-get install python-ct4 (fails with cant find some domains)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-ct4 (completes)
python /usr/bin/rdpgui.py
result ERROR
File "/usr/bin/rdpgui.py" lin4
^
any ideas?
UPDATE
ReplyDeleteThe above was the way the files downloaded, i have to VIEW them online first, then press "RAW" then save the file.
However i have it working, changed the rdpgui.ini, however its not actually running the RDP client, i change the RDP Binnary to "remmina" but still no joy....
The error i am getting is (and this is driving me nuts)
ReplyDeletelocal variable 'DomainFlag' referenced before assignment
This appears to be a programming bug (x86 install).
UPDATE
ReplyDeletePython-qt4 doesnt install on the RPi version..
apt-get install python-qt4
E: Unable to locate package python-qt4
The above commads works on the PC version, this leaves the RPi version with no GUI interface (which is a shame).
i'll test it soon, normally just modify apt ssources.list to include standard Jessie repository then
Deleteapt-get update
apt-get install python-qt4
I can confirm that updating the repos on my Pi does allow the Qt4 to be installed.
ReplyDeleteI then downloaded your zip file, unzipped the files and moved them all to my /usr/bin folder. I did not change the permission on those files (maybe I should have).
I updated the rdpgui.ini file (that is in the /usr/bin folder) and used the settings to use rdesktop. I updated the autostart to start the rdpgui.py.
Upon rebooting the Pi, I can see the rdpgui is displayed. I can use the dropdown and select the server I want to connect too. But when I enter in the credentials nothing happens. no rdesktop connection occurs.
I also would like to know if this rdpgui can be closed if need be. There appears to be no way to shut it down. I can see where there shouldn't be a need to shut it down, but I thought I would ask all the same.
Thank you Gibbio...I can definitely see a useful purpose for this rdpgui tool.
Once again, thank you for all your help with these tools you've provided for us.
I've been doing a bit more digging on why this isn't working for me. I've now run rdpgui.py from the terminal and discovered I have a problem with my domain. Here is the error I receive:
ReplyDeleteTraceback (most recent call last):
File "rdpgui.py", line 141, in handleButton
DomainFlag = config.get("DEFAULT", "RDPDomainFlags") + config.get("DEFAULT", RDPDomain)
NameError: global name 'RDPDomain' is not defined
For my test I was connecting to a server that is not in a domain. In fact, most of our workstations are only in the WORKGROUP. What is the proper command in the .ini file that would allow me to connect to workstations/servers that are not in a domain?
Thank you.
greavette, I had the same problem.
ReplyDeleteOn line 141 change config.get("DEFAULT", RDPDomain) for onfig.get("DEFAULT", "RDPDomain")
(right, just quote RDPDomain)
Thank you Kadu Langoni for you helpful reply. Good Catch! I had missed that RDPDomain was missing quotes.
ReplyDeleteI've confirmed that this fixes my issue and I can now connect to our servers using this RDPgui tool.
Thanks!
when I wrote username and press enter in console error: protocol security negotiation falure
ReplyDeleteDid you modify the rdpgui.ini file for the domain or workgroup you are using to connect as well as update the list of IP/DNS computer names? What if you used just a straight terminal to connect via rdesktop/freerdp (whichever you are using) to confirm you can connect successfully.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteImpressive your work.
I'm running Moebius in Raspberry Pi Model B without the graphical interface, only console
I have the following question:
I can run RDPGUI without the X server installed?
Thanks in advance.
Hey , I have a little Problem - when trying to conncect with rdpgui.py rdesktop try to connect to server with the name ot the machnine - rdiTC ? where is problem ?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me where i can finde a logfile to solve my Problem? When i enter my username and password and submit the infos nothing happens ?!
ReplyDeleteHay! Thanks for good tool! Unfortunately I get this message on ubuntu 13.10
ReplyDelete-------------------------------------------------------------
transport_connect: getaddrinfo (Name or service not known)
Error: protocol security negotiation failure
What could be solution?
Hi Alex,
DeleteIf you are trying to connect to a hostname then it may be that it is unable to resolve it's IP address. If this is the case then try using the IP address of the destination remote desktop server to verify this is the issue.
HI! Thank's for help. I have found that problem is that on Ubuntu have to use old syntax like -x and --disable-wallpaper. Unfortunately my biggest need was --app option what does not work for me - Erros reading parameters. If i put same parameters in comandline it works. There what i added : --app --plugin rail --data "||cmd" -- Appserv.pjvt.local
DeleteWill search for solution.

ReplyDeleteWith Debian 7 the perfect ThinOS! Thank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteHi ,lots of thanks for your tool.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to use .RDP file as a server which is one of the xfreerdp options?
actually I want to connect my users to VM Pools.
This is my aproach on a Windows Server 2008 NON R2
ReplyDeleteSession brooker, Roundrobin DNS setup with 4 Terminal Servers
The script can of course be put in autostart if wanted.
----------------------
apt-get install yad
touch rdp.sh
edit rdp.sh with your editor of choice and have the following (replace RDPSERVER with your IP or DNS name)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
frmdata=$(yad --title "RDPSERVER" --form --field "Username:" --field "Password:":H)
frmname=$(echo $frmdata | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" } { print $1 }')
frmpass=$(echo $frmdata | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" } { print $2 }')
xfreerdp /f /cert-ignore /d:YOURDOMAIN /u:$frmname /p:$frmpass /sec-nla /load-balance-info:tsv://RDPSERVER /kbd:0x0000041D /v:RDPSERVER
When I edit the rdpgui.ini file with my domain and server name the .py no longer works I get MissingSectionHeaderError: file contains no section headers. What am I doing incorrectly?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI just took the latest version of rdpgui, and would like to:
set a fixed username (like USER-A), and a fixed window-size of the RDP-connection - currently its always a 1024*768 size, but it could go up to 1650*1050.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
fantastic program worked perfectly , there is some way to use it by calling a RemoteApp ?
