Is it possible to setup a rdp-Connection (Remmina) within the startup-config.txt of Porteus? (maybe also set to autostart this rdp-Connection)
Actually I've to Setup the rdp-Config after every reboot.

Hello SVblue,

"Is it possible to setup a rdp-Connection (Remmina) within the startup-config.txt of Porteus?"
This is not possible at the moment.

"Actually I've to Setup the rdp-Config after every reboot."
Please enable full persistence for the session and Remmina all settings will be remembered.

If you need plain GUI with just rdesktop session which automatically opens on specific URL (configurable through the kiosk config) then custom build will be necessary:
porteus-kiosk.org/builds.html

Thank you.

Thanks.

connecting to Windows 7-PC via rdp is now working - "enable full persistence" solved the Problem.

BUT:
The keyboard does not work in windows-session. [CRTL-R] doesn't help.

I've tried several keyboard-language-settings but nothing works!

???

This bug is resolved in the automatic updates channel already. Please enable free trial or wait about 2 weeks for new kiosk version to go public.

Thank you.

Hello, since this topic is kinda old (7 years...) I was wondering if there now is a way to have a persistent rpd connection without having to enable full persistence?
