The Debian update has been reverted because freerdp2 isn't in testing and doesn't build everywhere.
Weston's RDP compositor back-end would make a number of things possible, notably exposing a LightDM or GDM greeter on RDP. This would allow HD tablets and Netbooks to log in remotely, e.g. via the Android RDP client, Windows RDP client, or FreeRDP. Weston supports switching backends without logging out, allowing attachment to the running session, which means an appropriate greeter can supply VDI by switching to a user's running session on login locally or over RDP. One cannot overlook the advantages in cost, flexibility, and reduced environmental footprint—thin clients include small computers drawing under 1 watt average power—and an RDP compositor backend is a critical component of such a feature. Perhaps it would be best to specify a more-complete roadmap to Ubuntu VDI with the resolution of this bug being a part of that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654864 Title: weston build with rdp backend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/weston/+bug/1654864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
