terminal server client: no vnc?
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731949#postmenu_4737289

I finally discovered that adding xtightvncviewer enables the VNC connection type in tsclient. Could you please list that as a suggested package in tsclient if that is the only "plugin" to enable VNC connections, or if there are others then them as well as suggested packages. Like looking for needles in haystacks - need all the help we can get.

vinagre is the preferred vnc client. Found in Remote Desktop Viewer, or vinagre from cli.

Yes I am aware of vinagre as a vnc client in general. And that is installed on my systems.

However if one wants to use tsclient to connect to vnc hosts, then adding xtightvncviewer is required to get the vnc protocol not grayed out.

I think it should appear as a suggested package for tsclient, as it is not at all clear why by default it is grayed out.

Please unmark this as an invalid request. I could also say that your answer was invalid.
