Royal Apps

Hi Felix and team! I was wondering if you guys have ever tossed around the idea of a full fledged Linux version of the Royal Applications suite. I love this product so much on macOS that I would love to see it on my Ubuntu Desktop at home. :)

Perhaps RoyalTS should look at something like this?

Pay to have a reduced functionality port of the Windows program run on Linux with the core basics people in this thread have been asking for.

+1 will be fantastic!

+1 For a Linux Version. Even if it only covers basics like SSH Browser RDP and File Transfer.

Hello, need a way to do it without VM, please help.

I've almost got it working on KUbuntu using Crossover Linux.

If anyone has any idea what might be missing please let me know.

+1 for Royal TSL!

+1 for linux !

Thanks

I'm pretty sure the RoyalTS Mac RDP plugin uses FreeRDP.

Perhaps there could be some same keyboard shortcuts interfering?

Anyway I can confirm that its working well for me via RDP on a Windows 10 VM that runs on my rack server.

Yep. My Royal TS is Mac-Based though, not Windows. I don't have a Windows workstation. 

Are you using the xfreerdp options I specified above?

I've been happily on Kubuntu for over 2 weeks now and have a permanent RDP open on one screen, I'm not seeing any issues with keyboard functionality using RDP within RDP.

I've hit non-trivial keyboard mapping issues when I RDP within an RDP (or VNC) session. It's not a completely satisfactory workaround.

A workaround is just to install RoyalTS on a Windows 10 VM and RDP into it.

The performance I'm seeing over LAN is so good I can't even tell its not running locally.

sudo apt-get install freerdp

/usr/bin/xfreerdp /u:USERNAME /p:"PASSWORD" /f /compression-level:0 +offscreen-cache +bitmap-cache +auto-reconnect /bpp:32 /codec-cache:rfx /smart-sizing /scale:180 /scale-desktop:250 /v:192.168.0.24:3389

I did try other Linux RDP solutions but free RDP with that launch code has been working flawlessly for me.

Note that scale and scale-desktop settings that adjusts it for Hi DPI, read the freerdp man page for values.

Plus 1 here also.  I am an Implementation Practice Lead and I deliver Infrastructure solutions.  There is no telling what type of guest/client my customers will give me.  If this app worked in Linux, then I could stop hassling with Windows all together.  I understand that there are some constraints, especially around the browser and shell integration.  That said there are so many third party software bundles, that there should be no problem matching most of the plugins for MacOS.

Also I'd be happy if a Linux version just supported the core basics eg:

SSH

Browser

RDP

File Transfer

Add those 4 things and I suspect the majority of users would be happy.
