About my installation, I didn't change anything from the default, just picked up my xlaunch file.

I'm not that good with putty but I don't understand how you can launch xming from it...?

If you get the same error from the command prompt while launching "xlaunch.exe -run C:\Misc things Neeraj\Xming\config.xlaunch" without RDM then the problem is with xming, not RDM.

First I would check if you are using a 32bit windows and trying to launch the 64 bit version of xming.

If not I would reinstall xming, preferably the version that works for me.

Good luck!

Simond,

Well my xming version is same, that u r using but it still doesn't work even without RDM. Problem is with config. Can you post screenshot of how u configure xlaunch file and how u r invoking it via RDM

I was able to do via Putty and i documented it in my blog also a while back

Appreciate if u can post screenshot for xlaunch and RDP settings that u have.

Simond, i am using the latest version only. I can use xming with putty without issues, but that's not the case with RDM , so clearly i am not doing it it right way when it comes to RDM, can you post screenshot ( word docu. ) as to how you have configured.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately we have not expert in xming in the company. This was added a long time ago to directly invoke the xming on window.

Not to sound rude, but that is really sad to know you built some features and now you don't have resources to support that.

RDM invoke xming in the command line. That's why it does not work. It was not implemented to use it via Putty.

David,

I am not sure, if i am following you. We have a license, can somebody help me via webex if it's difficult to explain it via forum post ?

-Neeraj

Could you try the command line directly?

xlaunch.exe -run config.xlaunch

Do you mean to say run this from command prompt ?? I hope not... since as expected it gave me 32 bit app error. Refer to attached screenshot

Via command prompt , I went into dir where Xming is installed C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\ and then i typed in

xlaunch.exe -run C:\Misc things Neeraj\Xming\config.xlaunch

Also fyi, this xming thing works fine, if i simply call it via putty.

Hi,

You can create a new entry and Select X Window. We use xming for the command line.

David,

Well that's what I did, but double clicking connection doesn't do anything. Refer to attached properties screenshot along with Xming config. file

Not exactly sure about what step did i messed up .. can helpdesk point me to a workable example. I am trying to connect to Virtualbox running Oracle Linux via Remote Desktop Manager that is installed on my win 7 laptop.

Hi,

i have installed XMing on my machine, & did a search on how to configure XMing and Remote Desktop Manager, so that i can start gui window. Can you provide me a url which shows step by step guide on configuring this. I did a search, but couldnt find information.

-Neeraj

Thanks.

You are right, as per screenshot that u posted, i specified password only in 1st screen and i never specified password for SQLlite db.

I will read the documentation, but correct me i am wrong, Is it to safe to say , if a user want to execute this software and he expects a password prompt to appear first then 1st screen is the place that user is expected to maintain a password ?

2nd screen comes into picture when u r trying to secure ur connection db so that nobody can do any connection related modifications like deletion of any telnet, rdp connections ??

-Neeraj

Issshhh, i dont know .... it doesnt make sense, after posting my last post containing 2 screenshots, i went back and right clicked on original Data source and selected option "Edit Data Source", then i got a popup, i just unselected both check boxes "Secure with password" and " Always ask password" and saved the original Data Source and now i am back in business & everything is working as expected.

honestly i am clueless, is it a bug that i stumbled across, since i was expecting it wouldn't let me modify the original Data Source since that's password protected. What's the point of then specifying password, when this option can be taken off without entering password ???

Refer to below screenshot

-Neeraj

that will solve it, but no need to uninstall

simply create a new data source and set it as the active one, then import your rdm file.

You can then delete the unusable data source.

Hi,

I tried following your instruction, but looks like it's not working . Can you point out what's the mistake that i might be doing.

Here's what i did

If u refer to below screenshot, Data Source "Local Data Source" was original, so i created new one with the name "New Data Source NV" . and now when i try to use that , it still pops up with a dialog box to enter password. Why is it throwing me a password entry screen, when on new DataSource , i haven't password protected it ? Do you think i have to get rid of Original Data source to get rid of this issue ?

-Neeraj Vasudeva

Unfortunately it's not possible to remove the SQLite password if you don't have the original password. However sometime it just because it's not the right password saved in the datasource configuration (File->Data Source). Perhaps you could configure it to prompt you for the password and you could type it.

\

Thanks for the quick response, that was really very quick. When i click the software shortcut, it comes up with this prompt , on entering password, it says Invalid. Refer to attached screenshot. Is there no way to recover ?

How about if i uninstall the software and install it again and then import rdm file ? I took a backup of rdm file just before setting password for connection.db file

Neeraj

Hi,

I have been using trail version and i am in the process of getting an approval for Enterprise edition from my supervisor.

Long story short, out of curiosity i was exploring various options, and i ended up entering a password for connections.db file via RDP software to make it more secure, now when i am trying with the password to open default profile , the password is not working.. what are my options ?

Fortunately i do have a backup of data.rdm file. Is there a way to recover password for default connections.db ?

I am using Win 7 Enterprise edition sp 1, and Remote Desktop Manager 9.0.12.0
