Remmina is an open-source remote desktop client that provides a fast and secure way to connect and control remote machines. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Remmina on MXLinux Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
To start, you will need to open the terminal on your MXLinux Latest machine. You can open a terminal using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T or by clicking "Menu" > "Applications" > "System" > "XTerm".
Next, we will add the Remmina repository to our system. To do this, enter the following command in the terminal:
echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/remmina:/next/xUbuntu_20.04/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/remmina.list
This command will add the Remmina repository to the system's list of sources.
Before we can install Remmina, we need to import the GPG key associated with the repository. To do this, enter the following command:
wget -qO - https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/remmina:/next/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
This command will download and import the GPG key.
Next, run the following command to update the system with the latest package information:
sudo apt update
Finally, we are ready to install Remmina. To do this, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp remmina-plugin-secret remmina-plugin-spice remmina-plugin-vnc
This command will install Remmina and its required plugins.
To verify that Remmina has been installed successfully, enter the following command to launch Remmina:
remmina
This should launch the Remmina application, and you should be able to connect to remote machines through it.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Remmina on MXLinux Latest. You can now use Remmina to remotely access and control other machines.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
