Beta testing: Remote Utilities for macOS/Linux

I just installed RU Host on a Linux Mint machine.  Two hopefully quick questions:

1) There's no option to configure 2FA - is that feature Windows-only at present?

2) Whenever I move the mouse, type, or interact with the RU connection to the Mint machine, I get occasional screen tearing/jagging/flickering.  I installed the X11 feature that was called out during the RU installation.  Do I need to do anything else to stop the flickering?
Hello MP,

Thank you for your message.

There's no option to configure 2FA - is that feature Windows-only at present?

Yes, unfortunately, the 2FA feature is not available in the beta version for Mac/Linux yet. However, it should be available in the final release of the stable version along with the rest of the features.

Whenever I move the mouse, type, or interact with the RU connection to the Mint machine, I get occasional screen tearing/jagging/flickering. I installed the X11 feature that was called out during the RU installation. Do I need to do anything else to stop the flickering?

Could you please clarify if you mean the Nextgen codec? If this is the case, could you please make sure that both Host and Viewer are updated to the latest available version?
If you mean something else, please let us know.

Hope that helps.

Is there a binary/package for arm64 available please? (for Raspberry Pi)
Hello Mike,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, currently there’s no installation package specifically for arm-based systems. However, we do plan adding support for ARM Mac/Linux OSs in our future releases.

Let us know if you have more questions.
