        @abmyii Oh okay, that worked although at first it was crashing and when it worked, I still get crashes when rotating from time to time. This is on Remmina on Ubuntu so perhaps specific only to this.

          Yeah, known issue - I haven't had a chance to look into it properly yet. It usually takes ~4/5 rotations in quick succession for it to crash on mine.

            @abmyii Yeah, I think it's fine. It's still usable anyway and not a big deal.
            One suggestion though is to put a simple UI for the app because showing a continuous loading screens can be confusing to uses. Perhaps a toggle to turn on and off the server so that the app won't crash completely when the server crashes. This will be more effort though 😛

              @kugiigi TBH my dad suggested to add it to the UT Tweak Tool but Rodney said it should be a CLI tool built into the system. Will have to clarify with him today how to move forward.

                @abmyii The proper way is indeed to integrate it to the system but it's fine to have it as a separate app for now or to put it in UTTT since your father is the maintainer anyway 🙂 Many things in UTTT graduates or should graduate and implemented in the system anyway

                  Works on FP2 (2020-W50) + Vinagre Remote Desktop Viewer on Ubuntu-MATE 20.10.

                  The touch gestures on notebook's touch screen are transferred too and can be used to control the phone.

                          For input to work on Nexus 5 (hammerhead), a udev rule has to be added using the following instructions:

                          • Make the rootfs rw using the Ubuntu Touch Tweak Tool (UTTT)
                          • Run this command on the device/over SSH:
                          echo 'ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="uinput", OWNER="system", GROUP="bluetooth", MODE="0660"' | sudo tee /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android_additional.rules
                          
                          • Reboot device

                          This fix has to be applied only once. It will become redundant after OTA-17 is released, as there is an open PR to fix it (https://github.com/ubports/android_device_lge_hammerhead/pull/30).
