Hi, I am using SeamlessRDP and I experience windows maximization problems. It seems that internally the window gets maximized, but I don't see it. It remains visually in the same area it was before maximizing, but, logically, with the mouse click event having the position shifted, according to the original window position. This behavior varies according to the system I use (eg Excel, Word, Power Point, etc...). I also experience similar problems with windows minimizations as well. Would there be a problem related to patches, etc? Any hints? Regards, Paulo Pacheco |

Any hints? I've certainly seen this problem, where a quarter of the application just disappears on maximisation. I haven't seen that issue for a while though - I suspect it's a bit hit and miss. We're using the www.fontis.com.au/rdesktop patches, to enable multiple applications to share the same connection. I note we are also using the rdesktop switch "-a 16" to set the colour depth to 16-bit, that being the same setting as the client Linux o/s. Whether that makes any difference or not I have no idea, but I could imagine colour depth having an impact on this. You may also need to raise the maximum colour depth in terminal services. If you run rdesktop from the command line, you should see a message about that colour depth not being supported. Another thing you could try is setting the following key in the Windows registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer\NoDesktop Set DWORD to 1 for suppressing the desktop and 0 for reinstating the desktop. This option enables you to have a Windows taskbar in Linux (by running explorer.exe), without it hiding your Linux desktop behind the Windows desktop. Personally I have this option set to 1, but I think most of my users have it set to 0, but you could have a play with this and see if it impacts on the problem. In case this issue rears its ugly head again for me, I'd be interested to hear how you get on. Good luck. Chris Roberts |

Thanks for the prompt reply, Chris. It seems that patch -p1 < rdesktop.patch Should be patch -p2 < rdesktop.patch on page http://www.fontis.com.au/rdesktop >> Installation >> Item 3. I am still working... so I'll reply in a couple of days about what comes out of this.

Hi, I have compiled and tested www.fontis.com.au/rdesktop. The seamless part update works fine and apparently with some improvements, using the original ubuntu 9.10 rdesktop package. However, running the version pointed out, with the patches, compiled in my machine, the following error messages are issued, with the command "rdesktop <hostname>": ERROR: Failed to extract public key from certificate ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer ERROR: Connection closed Any thoughts, please?

Sounds like you are connecting to a Windows Server 2008 (I have 2003) - I think you may need the "-4" switch to force it to use RDP version 4. You may need to change a setting on the Windows server as well, not sure. Chris. |

You are right Chris. Windows Server 2008. The -4 switch does open the Windows' windows, but it looks like it recognizes mouse move (hovering over buttons), but it doesn't recognize mouse clicks. Messages: when it starts -> NOT IMPLEMENTED: System pointer message 0x7f00 after closing rdesktop window -> X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 23 (X_GetSelectionOwner) Atom id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 293 Current serial number in output stream: 293 Question: You are saying is that if I go for Windows Server 2008, I should force version 4... why? In order not to ask redundant questions, would that be documented? Thanks !

Timely, reading some forums it seems that in a recent past there were these errors when redesktop 1.4.x, windows server 2003, was in use. The suggestion then was to go for RDPv5. My current configuration is redesktop 1.6.0, windows server 2008, seamless (would it be an issue with the -4 option?)

This mailing list is so quiet that you're probably waiting for me to respond; so I'd better say for the record that I really don't know :(. Hopefully someone else on the list can help. Chris |

Absolutely, Chris. I really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks you too, Kevin. It gives me some directions to follow.
