Remmina GUI for RDP and VNC

October 10, 2021 — BarryK

I posted about adding various RDP servers and clients to EasyOS earlier today:

And yesterday, about VNC apps:

Then today I was reading this, about Remmina, and thought that looks like a cool app:

...not just RDP, Remmina is also a VNC client. For RDP, it is a GUI for freerdp.

So, Remmina is now compiled in OpenEmbedded, for x86_64 and aarch64, and is now available via the package manager. It does have some dependencies, so make sure that you install those also.

Note, I have not tested any of these VNC and RDP apps, have just compiled them and made them available for people to play with. The recipes were pre-existing in OpenEmbedded, except for gtk-vnc for which I created a recipe. I did modify some pre-existing recipes to remove not-needed dependencies, such as 'pam' and 'avahi'.

The latest OpenEmbedded project tarball is 'dunfell-20211010.tar.gz', available here:
