RDESKTOP AUTOSELECTED KEYBOARD MAP EN US ERROR UNABLE TO CONNECT WINDOWS
I have also installed Windows XP on one of the computers that was not working with Ubuntu and it worked correctly as well. The connection works flawlessly on a Windows XP machine on the same network. WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24 falling back to 16 Here's the message I get back from rdesktop when running the above command: I did get one laptop to work correctly, and it was not due to any additional configuration or modification, it worked directly after installing a standard Ubuntu installation however it was very very slow, to the point where it was not usable. If I let it run for about 3 minutes I will get a response of "Connection reset by peer". I then get a window which displays as shown in the screenshot, and it completely stops.


I've attached a screenshot of what I get. I have installed Ubuntu Hardy on over 6 machines with the same effect. Maybe I'm not running something correctly, on either side. Please contact me if further information is needed to diagnose. php?p=4709775ĭiscusses what appears to be the same problem experienced by other users. However it worked fine under Dapper.ĭropping -z or -P makes the connection quit faster, as does using a higher color depth.

I tried the Gutsy rdesktop package and also tried compiling the latest rdesktop cvs, all with the same results. This behavior was identical under Gutsy and on two different Hardy machines, regardless of network interface. There are no side-effects on other X applications-everything continues to work except for rdesktop. If I kill the client and reconnect, I see that the mouse clicks and keypresses were being sent to the remote server. Shortly (30sec-1min) after login, the connection freezes-the pointer still responds, but I am unable to see the results of any mouse clicks or keypresses. In Gutsy and Hardy, I am able to connect to the server via RDP.
