In 2013, LogMeIn decided to start forcing the download of a Windows-only executable file for remote control of computers. This, of course, leaves Linux users in the lurch.
The previous Flash interface is still THERE, and in fact it’s SUPPOSED to be available with a click – if you don’t have the plugin, you’re supposed to be presented with a page offering to let you download the plugin OR click another link to go to the Flash interface. Unfortunately, on Linux (Ubuntu at least), said page just instantly flashes away and takes you back to the splash page for the computer you’re connected to.
The workaround here is to log into your LogMeIn account, click the computer you want to control and connect to it (using your login credentials), and then INSTEAD OF CLICKING REMOTE CONTROL go to your address bar and replace “/main.html” at the end of the current URL with “/remctrl.html?type=flash” instead. Hit enter, and your remote control session will start as normal.
BOO to LogMeIn for making this so freaking difficult. >=[
