[Resolved] no, or small, desktop display of host laptop, if laptop lid closed

Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you mean enabling the Use legacy capture mode option on the Host machine remotely? If this is the case, you can try using the Remote Settings feature which allows you to change any of the Host settings from your Viewer computer.
If you mean something else, please let us know.

Thank you!

Beta testing: Remote Utilities for macOS/Linux

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.

Beta testing: Remote Utilities for macOS/Linux

Hello Phil,

Thank you for your message.

Clipboard copy/paste functionality is definitely planned and will be available in the final stable release of Remote Utilities for Linux/Mac.
Unfortunately, we're not able to provide a specific ETA for that release just yet.

Hope that helps.

[Resolved] connection how admin

Hello Fabrizio,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, of course, you can simply install Host instead of Agent - you must have admin privileges to install Host and runs as a SYSTEM service which allows you to perform tasks requiring admin rights.

Let us know if you have more questions.

[Resolved] Connection password rejected

Hello Hal,

Thank you for your message.

This sounds like an issue might’ve been caused by some antivirus software activity. Could you please make sure to add the Host installation folder to the exception list of your a/v software following this guide and, perhaps, reinstalling Host from scratch as described here. After doing all of the above, please try connecting to your Host once again and see if it works this time.

Hope that helps.
