Here the solutions...

1)If you want to open the screen at a specific resolution, for example 1280×1024 resolution, add the -g flag:

rdesktop -g 1366x 768 [machine]

2)if you like using

rdesktop -g 90% servername

which will use set the size of the remote desktop to 90% of the size of your local screen, which works quite well regardless of resolution.. :)

It says that rdekstop is not installed , reminder I m using chrome remote desktop – Shenal Silva – 2014-09-18T06:39:13.370

@Shenal Silva code:"sudo apt-get install rdesktop" ,should take care of it.You may also want to install tsclient for a graphical frontend for rdesktop."code:sudo apt-get install tsclient" You can also use Synaptic Package Manager to do this. Click on System -- Administration -- and choose Synaptic Package Manager. – Itachi Uchiha – 2014-09-18T06:46:03.023
