I ported Remmina to the Pandora, I fixed it up so it only touches the NAND where absolutely necessary - SSH keys must be stored in the user's home directory - no escaping it. Enjoy!

Cool. This will come in very handy when I get my Pandora.

when setting up a new connection, I cannot complete the process as i cannot save the new connection details - the bottom of the page is off the screen - is there some linuxy hack I don't know of to make it so i can see it?

great software but quite slow on the pandora,i think it might be the pandora graphics driver support on the desktop.I hope this gets faster somehow as its amazing running windows desktop on the pandora.

Thanks for this! Can't wait to give it a run later.

I have no idea what this is. Can anyone point me to some information that would explain what this does? I went to the Remmina website, and I'm still clueless. What is an "htpc remote"?

It's VNC protocol.
You'll be able to use pandora to interact with your pc (the pc screen appears on pandora screen and you can manage all your media)

Put simply it will allow you to view your windows desktop from your Pandora so you can remote control your PC. Frame rates are likely to be low so don't expect to do any video streaming or gaming over it but for a System Manager like me this will be very useful.

My wife is PROFOUNDLY unimpressed by my Pandora, but last night I managed to get a "OK that's quite cool" out of her with Remmina. Our TV is a Linux box with a big screen running MythTV (HTPC = Home Theater PC) and I showed her that I could use the Pandora to control that and load up a HULU show using the touchscreen. She didn't really see the point of doing it like that(I admit, there isn't much), but she did respect that it was possible.

Incidentally, the Hulu video over VNC was not watchable, but it was better than I expected; couple of frames a second at low quality.

Can this program also go the opposite way and display the Pandora Desktop onto the PC?

[mindlord]

Nope, this is just a client. Although, the Pandora does already seem to have a VNC server installed.

X11VNC
it didn't run from menu though, had to run in terminal, and it WORKS nicely

Cool.
With that I really could impress my buddy, he is a VNC maniac (Home Servers etc...)
is ist complicated to run such stuff from terminal? I hope the Pandora will contain a userfriendly GUI version for sich actions (some day) ^^

[Alerino]

in pandora terminal: type 'x11vnc' enter
then you're good to go!
