You have to create a remmina config file to specify connection parameters.
[el@rosewill bin ]$ remmina -? Usage: remmina [OPTION...] - The GTK+ Remote Desktop Client Help Options: -h, --help Show help options Application Options: -a, --about Show about dialog -c, --connect=F Connect to a .remmina file F -e, --edit=F Edit a .remmina file F -n, --new Create a new connection profile -p, --pref Show preference dialog -x, --plugin=P Execute plugin P -q, --quit Quit the application -s, --server=S Use default server name S -t, --protocol=T Use default protocol T -i, --icon Start as tray icon
Create a remmina configuration file
- Run the command
remmina
from a user and press the button to "create a new desktop file". - Set up that configuration file so you can connect to it through the GUI.
- Save it and quit.
- Look in your user directory. In my case
/home/el/.remmina/
inside there you will find asomething.remmina
file. That is your configuration file. From the terminal, execute this:
remmina -c /home/el/.remmina/1375746771949.remmina
That should have brought up your desktop connection.
Contents of my configuration file:
[remmina] disableclipboard=0 ssh_auth=0 clientname= quality=0 ssh_charset= ssh_privatekey= console=0 resolution=1800x900 group= password=supersecretpassword== name=HostNameZeusCannon ssh_loopback=0 shareprinter=0 ssh_username= ssh_server= security= protocol=RDP execpath= sound=off exec= ssh_enabled=0 username=myusername@gmail.com sharefolder= domain= server=192.168.13.106 colordepth=32 window_maximize=0 window_height=967 viewmode=1 window_width=1812 ~
Then I can create a little bash script that calls it up:
remmina -c /home/el/.remmina/1375746771949.remmina
Then hook it onto my desktop so it brings up the other screen on a button click.
