Hello James,
Thank you for your message.
Could you please clarify what exact version of Remote Utilities you’re currently running and which version of Linux Mint you’re currently using? We will try and see if we’re able to reproduce the issue on our end.
Looking forward to your reply.
I'm running Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon 64bit with Linux Kernel 6.8.0-117-generic
The newest version i tried/failed to run is viewer1.0.24.b24_amd64.deb
I ended up using 'wayback machine' to find and download the previous version again viewer1.0.23.b23_amd64.deb
The old version still works fine.
thanks
James

I tried it on Debian 13 using the *.deb package...
root@tabl1 /tmp > ./host1.0.24.b24_amd64.deb
./host1.0.24.b24_amd64.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./host1.0.24.b24_amd64.deb: line 1: `!<arch>'
root@tabl1 /tmp >
It works with the tar package...
apt install libxcb-cursor0 libxcb-icccm4 libxcb-keysyms1
root@tabl1 /tmp > ./r-host -install
Copied executable to /usr/bin/r-host with executable permissions.
Service file written to /etc/systemd/system/Remote_Utilities_Host.service
Created symlink ‘/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/Remote_Utilities_Host.service’ → ‘/etc/systemd/system/Remote_Utilities_Host.service’.
Session agent service file written to /etc/systemd/user/Remote_Utilities_Host-session-agent.service
Created symlink ‘/etc/systemd/user/graphical-session.target.wants/Remote_Utilities_Host-session-agent.service’ → ‘/etc/systemd/user/Remote_Utilities_Host-session-agent.service’.
Daemon and session agent installed successfully.
How can I now configure my own server?

Hi Simon,
Thank you for your message.
I’m glad to hear Host for Linux is working well for you. Thank you for the feedback.
Unfortunately, RU Server is only supported by Windows-based OSs as of now, however, we are working on making RU Server available on other platforms, such as Mac and Linux. Unfortunately, we cannot currently provide any specific ETA on when it might be available.
Let us know if you have more questions.

Hi,
Oh, sorry, I didn't explain myself clearly :)
I mean, how can I tell the Linux host to connect to its own RU server?
Thanks

I found the command.
r-host -config
Interestingly, on my Debian 13, the *.deb package doesn't work, but the “other linux.xz” file does. The *.xz file also works for me on the kiosk system, which only runs “Openbox and Chrome.”
I was able to successfully connect to the Debian kiosk via my own RU server :)
