Re: [Thinstation-general] ThinStation Windows Server 2008 R2 rdesktop "reconnect" Bug

[<Ben...@uq...>]

Hi, 

I have a similar problem for the input language (French Canadian here).

Maybe you could look at this : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/322042

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 1

I don't remember adding this key in my 2008 TS Configuration, and the key is not there anymore after updating to 2008-R2.

Objet : Re: [Thinstation-general] ThinStation Windows Server 2008 R2 rdesktop "reconnect" Bug

Hi, 

sorry for late response - the reconnect Problem is solved now, the script gets executed. BUT, now the TS logon is always on English (latest rdesktop-svn), even if I didn’t choose any English language packages at all (german only) in the build conf - even the rdesktop options are choosing explicit german ("-k de"). The real funny thing: I even forced the german language interface for TS Users (in Windows Policies), however, english wins. 

I copied the new files (/etc/rc5.d/S10rdesktop.init and the /etc/init.d content) to the classic rdesktop /etc location, now it works with german keyboard layout and reconnect, only the mouse cursor is black again. Seems like the new rdesktop-svn is english only? 

Ah, and by the way: I have here ~40 Dell Optiplex 745 PC's with Broadcom Gbit Onboard NIC, the tg3 driver should be suitable, but it's not working (no dhcp detected, no nic found) - I saw now 2 threads about this problem - is there a functional driver yet? 
Thanks. 

Best regards,
Philip Marak

I was putting in some lines (echo "I work" > $HOME/log) into the init file, at 2 different places (before ". /etc/thinstation.global" after the "touch $HOME/.rdesktop"), nothing happens, so it's pretty clear why the error still happens. Just to be sure I downloaded again the 2.2.2 version, and rebuild my version. I tried only the rdesktop-svn because in the original packages/rdesktop/etc/init.d/ rdesktop.init not even exists.

Yep, it's not being run....

insert a symlink to it called /etc/rc5.d/S10rdesktop.init by 
cd <path to your build>/Thinstation-2.2.2/packages/redesktop-svn/etc
mkdir rc5.d
cd rc5.d
ln -s ../init.d/rdesktop.init S10rdesktop.init

or download the updated contrib from sourceforge
You will need to rebuild your image.

Good luck

Any ideas where else I could try to kill the file (eg. In X init script) or so?
