It is unclear to me which remote desktop type you are using, so those might not be options. We can't have everything and MS isn't likely to help.īTW, I use the NoMachine 3.x NX client (Windows and Linux versions) to connect to FreeNX servers running on Linux boxes. I don't see any way to install NoMachine on Clear Linux. I have this working on several servers, including a Oracle always free ARM machine in the cloud running Ubuntu. Select paste does NOT work with remote MS-Windows machines. Chrome Remote Desktop used to be my favorite, but recent editions pretty well break Ubuntu, and it's what's supported. If that doesn't work when using remmina, I would have switched to a different tool immediately. explains select/paste, though I have 'focus follows mouse' set in the window manager, so my method is left-mouse button to select and center to paste. Sometimes I can slip a select/paste though even with those programs, however. A few programs do just that, for some unknown reason, I notice it in Firefox and Thunderbird. X/Windows has select/paste built-in and programmers have to go out of their way to disable it. A remote desktop is my native way of working.ĭon't use copy/paste much - I use select/paste all the time - maybe 50 times a day. I don't use remmina (tried it but seemed to complex for my needs), but I use remote desktops all the time - on one right now.
