Installing the latest gnome-rdp in Fedora

28 December 2010

I like gnome-rdp because it’s simple and supports ssh, vnc, and rdp all in one client.

Prereq’s: mono, docky

Use which to determine if you have these installed. For example, “which mono”. If none is found, install with “yum install mono”.

Download gnome-rdp 0.3.0.9-1 (gnome-rdp-0.3.0.9-1.noarch.rpm).

Install with: “rpm -ivh gnome-rdp-0.3.0.9-1.noarch.rpm”.

Updates in this version: You can now hit enter instead of having to click OK when typing passwords. Group functionality is getting better, but you cannot delete them once created. A session can only exist in one group at a time. Still no sorting of sessions.

—Old Versions—
gnome-rdp 0.3.0.1-2 (gnome-rdp-0.3.0.1-2.noarch.rpm)

Hints for this version: You must add at least one Identity and one Profile prior to adding a Session, and then click to select them when you do add a Session. Groups are still not really working, nor can you sort the Session list.
