Package: krdc Version: 4:4.14.1-1 Severity: important
I regularly connect to 2 RDP hosts. The one I use the most, a Windows 8 server, does not work anymore after upgrading xfreerdp from 1.0 to 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e. My connection to a Windows Server 2003 host still works. If I try the Windows 8 connection with FreeRDP "1.1", the connection never completes, causing the infamous blue screen (upstream 339490). This is a known issue caused by usage of an unreleased FreeRDP version tracked in upstream's ticket 341284. New versions do not offer the same command-line interface. The interface isn't completely different. It appears to be possible to connect to any RDP server, but the right options need to be set. Also, it seems the target is also a variable - for some reason, my Windows Server 2003 appears to support any configuration I request, unlike my Windows 8 server. I see a few options: 1. Revert FreeRDP to 1.0 and wait until dependants support the new interface. 2. Make krdc compatible with the new interface. Upstream has a patch to support the new interface, but it doesn't support the old interface at the same time. Either we develop a new patch, or we apply the existing patch and make krdc conflict with FreeRDP 1.0 and earlier. FreeRDP should perhaps conflict with current krdc too. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 Debian Release: jessie/sid 990 testing ftp3.nrc.ca 500 unstable ftp3.nrc.ca 1 experimental ftp3.nrc.ca --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===================================-+-============= kde-runtime (>> 4:4.10) | 4:4.14.2-1 libc6 (>= 2.1.3) | 2.19-13 libkcmutils4 (>= 4:4.11) | 4:4.14.2-3 libkdecore5 (>= 4:4.11) | 4:4.14.2-3 libkdeui5 (>= 4:4.11) | 4:4.14.2-3 libkdnssd4 (>= 4:4.11) | 4:4.14.2-3 libkio5 (>= 4:4.11) | 4:4.14.2-3 libknotifyconfig4 (>= 4:4.11) | 4:4.14.2-3 libqt4-dbus (>= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 libqt4-network (>= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 libqt4-xml (>= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.8.4) | 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.8.0) | 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) | 4.9.1-19 libtelepathy-qt4-2 (>= 0.9.1) | 0.9.4+dfsg-3 libvncclient0 (>= 0.9.9) | 0.9.9+dfsg-6+b2 Recommends (Version) | Installed ==========================-+-=========== rdesktop | freerdp-x11 (>= 1.0.2) | 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-2+b1 Suggests (Version) | Installed ===========================-+-=========== khelpcenter4 | 4:4.14.2-1 krfb | 4:4.14.2-1 -- Filipus Klutiero http://www.philippecloutier.com
