Summer of Code project finished!
I’m happy to tell you that I have successfully finished my SoC project, KRDC. ![]()
The work on KRDC was very interesting and I have learned quite a lot. The resulting work is already in trunk and included in the to KDE 4.0 beta releases. Try the new KRDC out! It is usable for productive work. Please report any issues or wishes to the KDE bug tracker. I’m committed to fix such things as soon as possible.
Thanks to my mentor, Brad Hards. To work together with him was really great!
And thanks of course also to Google for making such a project possible!
Thanks for the people who have offered me a VNC or RDP testing server. Thanks to all the people reading my blog and comment on things.
Of course the work on KRDC continues. First I will try to resolve as many issues as possible (I have already more than halved the bugs.kde.org issues for KRDC until now…). For KDE 4.1 a very much requested feature is planned: NX support in KRDC!
I will keep you up-to-date in my blog.
Now a screenshot of the current state of KRDC (Btw: thanks to the KDE-artists for the brand new great KRDC Oxygen icon):

Beautiful work and the NX support would be the icing on the cake.
I don’t really understand why the nomachine people don’t help out with the integration of an opensource client in KDE as it would be great publicity for their outstanding server.

from what iunderstand, they _did_ offer their help, repeatedly,a few years ago… they even had bounties on offer for certain tasks to be accomplished by the oss developer community. but nobody was interested, and partly they were ridiculed. they took it as being “shown the cold shoulder” by kde and the community at large, and now they do no longer care much.

Just two words: thank you

Great work, now when I recommend Kubuntu to people I will have a much easier time helping them with a great Remote Desktop Client included with KDE.

Nice work, Urs!

Urs, I can’t thank you enough! I use KRDC every day in KDE 3, and I can’t wait to try your new version in KDE 4. Tabs!! Does this integrate with wallet to save server passwords?

Nice! I really like the current svn version. It’s neat and I noticed you’ve implemented the suggestions made in previous posts.

Hey Urs, maybe you could implement something like in the following screenshot, favorites:

jospoortvliet: there is already somethink like that implemented: the bookmarks menu. but probably I could display it in such a way (and probably also on the start page).

High Urs!
nochmal ich, diesmal auf deutsch ich haffe das ist ok!? Hast Du dein Projekt irgendwo bei sourceforge ? Da würde ich gerne einen Feature request einstellen…
Ich verwende KRDC für externe Kunden, deren Linux Maschinen damit ferngewartet werden können, aber: die sind nur per ssh Tunnel zu erreichen. Oder gibt es schon heute einen Trick, wie ich vor dem Zugriff auf den entfernten Desktop über den neuen krdc die ssh- Verbindung aufbauen kann?
Nochmals Danke für deine tolle Arbeit, endlich hat sich jemand dem krdc angenommen
Viele Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald

Nukem36: Thanks for your comment. KRDC is not hosted at sourceforge, but you can request any feature at http://bugs.kde.org.
About your wish: there is already a freature request for ssh-tunnelling support; I hope to get this done soon.
