Yeah, a web interface is never going to be as nice as a good terminal session.

Well at least not right now.

@dafyre Why? Does it not work well?

The SSH font looks like something from a circus act (this may well be an easy fix... see my screenshots above)... and the RDP plugin doesn't capture windows keys, like Alt+Tab, etc.

That's my biggest reason for suggesting a jump box.

Well you can use the same box as a jump box, too. No need to have two. But I'm sure we could fix the font easily, just no one looked at it.

But even then, Copy / Paste didn't work from the SSH VM like it would with Putty, etc. I think it can be a great solution in a pinch, but if you need anything serious, I don't see it being a ll that great.

Yeah, a web interface is never going to be as nice as a good terminal session.

I think they can be. Guacamole's RDP sessions are great. They're not slow at all in my testing. The issue I have is being able to (easily) use the Windows Shortcut keys from a PC or Android device.

No package libssh-dev available.
No package vncserver-devel available.

Why? rpel-release is installed.

Alex Sage

libvncserver-devel is the correct package.

Alex Sage

libssh-dev doesn't seem to exist, but libssh2-devel does

That's intentionally on my side. They are optional and still I'm not looking for. What's Vorbis being used for here?

None of those are "needed". They are purely optional components.

An internal error has occurred within the Guacamole server, and the connection has been terminated. If the problem persists, please notify your system administrator, or check your system logs.

Alex Sage

Trying to just connect to localhost, but both localhost and 127.0.0.1 don'r seems to work.....

Alex Sage

How do I restart Guacamole after editing the user-mapping.xml file?

systemctl restart tomcat

Alex Sage

@scottalanmiller But will that reload the config file?

Alex Sage

@scottalanmiller and the SSH fonts look fine for me

Try installing all the packages
