Hi,

having recently upgraded to Diablo, i can't get rdesktop to work, i've thrown VNC on my server as a temp fix, but i need rdesktop as it's a terminal server...

Also it would be great to find a rdesktop version that works full screen and at that fractional window size,

can anyone confirm an install that works with Diablo ?


many thanks, Will

I can't get it work. It installs and launches ok, but when I enter the info and then try to connect, the app just closes - boom, gone.

Very annoying.

Please be aware that I never tried it under Chinook.

I'm using it in Diablo.

One thing that seems to happen is that it closes without connecting often. I just keep clicking away until it "catches"...

Filling in as much info as possible seems to help, domain, user, pass, computer name.. Also using IP addresses works better for me. It "feels" like there's a timeout that is set too low, so waiting for name resolution doesn't make for a happy connection.

I haven't tried this from the command line (if possible), so I have no idea if you can change more settings.

Just keep trying and it should work.

Also, this is not an in-depth answer as I don't know what other factors could contribute to the "bug".

Hope this helps.

i can confirm my previous cli version 1.5 also doesn't work on diablo, gives an error, loading shared libraries libcrypto.so.0.9.7

i don't think it exists....

if anyone still has either version working, can they post the version number ?

Will

for me it works.
this one:

im not sure if this has anything to do with it, but my rdesktop connects a lot more easily since I installed openssh on my N800.
Id say give it a try, you never know
(im on vista SP1--> read Here to see how to make it work!

That is because libcrypto (OpenSSL) is upgraded to 0.9.8 on Diablo. You'll have to recompile the package, wait for a Diablo version, or hack around this.

For me, rdesktop sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. Just keep retrying. This kind of behaviour isn't user-friendly tho...

Well;
Just for the heck of it I spent 20 minutes trying over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over......

It will not do anything other than instantly close.

BTW our servers are not members of a domain. Rdesktop works fine from XP. It does not matter if I usr IP or dns name.

I'm running version .4, installed from app manager.

I just compiled rdesktop for Diablo. I was having troubles where every now and then, the app would crash after I clicked OK. This version seems to be a bit better, but still works intermittently. Let me know if this works better for anyone else.

This version works much better for me. First attempt, it was no better, but I had been using an older rdesktop version and the settings were saved in my backup. Once I flashed and did not restore my backup, your recompiled app started working great. Apparently some garbage in the old settings or app that didn't play well with Diablo. Thanks again for addressing this as my N800 is frequently used with rdesktop to manage a home automation setup. Not having it work reliably was a dealbreaker for me moving to Diablo.
