Remote Desktop

A Remote Desktop session provides an environment to work with a variety of tools via a graphical user interface.

1. Click on the Remote Desktop icon on the dashboard or select "Remote Desktop" in the drop down list under "Desktop Apps" in the upper menu bar.

2. Select a desktop environment (Xfce4 or IceWM), the number of cores to be used for the session (2 or 4) and the desired run time and click on "Launch".

3. Once the session is ready, you can select a proper compression and image quality and connect to it via "Launch Remote Desktop".

4. A new browser window with the remote desktop application will open. Be patient: Depending on your internet connection, it may take some seconds until the application is completely loaded. If the application runs laggy, close the browser window and change the compression and image quality settings.

5. You can close and resume the browser window anytime during your specified run time. By clicking on "My Interactive Sessions" in the upper menu bar, you can resume your session as explanied in step 3.

6. In order to terminate the session before the run time ends, go to "My Interactive Sessions", select the respective session and click on "Delete".
