My company makes me use a Windows laptop for email, IM and a few application that need an MS O/S. I use an rdesktop session from my Fedora Core 20 workstation to keep the laptop screen on one of my virtual desktops. This has been working fine with rdesktop 1.8.3 and windows 7. I have now been upgraded to a new Windows 8.1 laptop and now I cannot login. The rdesktop session opens and I can see the MS account I want to log into, but when I select it there is no password box for me to authenticate into the account with. I have tried passing the password in the command line with the "-p" option but this has no effect. Has anybody seen this before. I have a feeling that it might be a security policy thing but my local support people are clueless as they do not support linux. I can start a MS Remote Desktop session from my old laptop to the new and that does allow me to authenticate, so it is something peculiar to the session initiated by rdesktop. The command line I am using is rdesktop -u <username> -d <domain> -k en-gb -g 1900x1000 -a 16 <ip_address> Any help would be appreciated. Steve Hindmarch |
