How do I RDP into my Ally with Bazzite?

I thought this would be as simple as: 1. Enable RDP in Bazzite (done) 2. Add a username that's allowed Step 2 is impossible. I can click the "Add User" but there is no way it lets me select and input text in the Username and/or Password field. How do you guys remote control your Steamdeck/ROG Ally from your PC?

Yeah. I just want to RDP (or any other remote control) from my Windows PC to the Bazzite device. Because I tried installing EmuDeck but everything failed and the on-screen keyboard and controls are horrible

so you want remote acess to install emudeck?

Mostly, yes I tried it over ssh with sudo ujust install-emudeck but that one also fails
nagito || Knight of Emilia
ok open up the terminal & run sudo systemctl start sshd after that just make sure you know the IP which i presume you already do

Yeah SSH is not the issue. I can SSH into the device
nagito || Knight of Emilia

nagito || Knight of Emilia

Yeah I already enabled sshd. Works fine How tho? The ujust command results in python errors
nagito || Knight of Emilia
the method on the website? maybe

Yeah so that's exactly my issue. I tried the methods on the website. Both SteamOS and Linux. Both fail That's why i wanted to see if i can RDP into the thing to give me a bit more control
nagito || Knight of Emilia
hmm how would that help? all 3 methods don't work is your system up to date? by the way both the ways for Steam OS & Linux do the same thing

Yes I think i just got the installation started by manually launching a sudo bash ./EmuDeck.sh from terminal
nagito || Knight of Emilia
only difference is Steam OS gives you a desktop shortcut whereas Linux gives you a script buth both files ultimately rtun the same exact command

Hmm alright. Seems to be installing now. Little bit annoying that I couldn't just double click either the Steam desktop file, nor the .sh file straight from the explorer
nagito || Knight of Emilia
which is sh -c 'curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dragoonDorise/EmuDeck/main/install.sh | bash' this downloads the actual install script & runs it

Thanks, it's installed now πŸ˜„
nagito || Knight of Emilia
the reason Steam OS gives you a desktop file is because the file manager will make that executable by itself whereas with a script you have to make it executable yourself

You can use RustDesk in Bazaar

AfcaEricNLOPβ€’2w ago
Yeah that one failed. Only give me a "Process Exited" screen
nagito || Knight of Emilia
on newer versions of desktop mode you get this the RDP section already has the logged in user added
No description
nagito || Knight of Emilia
so you don't have to add others

You don't have to add anything for rustdesk, it just works
