Splashtop Business App on Debian

Avatar

I'm using Debian Sid (Bullseye 11 should be the same), but I ran into an issue installing the app.  It specifically was looking for Ubuntu versions, which caused the final step of linking the binary from the installation folder to /usr/bin.  

So far, simply linking the binary manually appears to be working.

    Have you tried this?

    wget https://download.splashtop.com/linux/STB_CSRS_Ubuntu_v3.5.0.0_amd64.tar.gz

    tar -xvf STB...

    apt install ./Splashtop_Streamer_Ubuntu_amd64.deb

    splashtop-streamer deploy

    enter your deployment code

    Hi, thanks for the reply. 

    I thought i could only use the splashtop business program, as that's the version I picked. 

    I tried the splashtop streamer you posted and still could not get it to work. 

    I ran the install command and this was the output. 

     

    root@mx3900x:/home/user/Downloads/STB_CSRS_Ubuntu_v3.5.0.0_amd64# apt install ./Splashtop_Streamer_Ubuntu_amd64.deb

    I tried launching the program. It tried to load but closes.

    Can you do a:

    lsb_release -a

    And post the output?

    I will try installing Splashtop Streamer on Debian and see if it works.

    I was able to get the business streamer to work by doing this. 

    Link the binary from the installation folder " /opt/spalshtop-business" to /usr/bin. 

     

    Now, i have a new problem, the program launches but the screen is shifted funny, only uses 1/3 of the screen and the mouse cursor is shifted by a few inches. 

     

    Lastly, i dont see any options for multimonitor, file transfer, and copy and paste support. Does the linux version not support these features?

    I found debian to be problematic also. Suggest you try using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 22.04 Jammy does not work properly right now.

    Thanks for the reply, Thomas. Do you know if from an ubuntu client, i can control a windows 10 machine with these features? Multimonitor, file transfer, and copy and paste support.
