[Bug 153995] Re: Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled
This is not a rdesktop bug but a compiz one. KDE has an option for desktop effects titled "Disable desktop effects for fullscreen windows" which fixes all problems from games to choppy video playback to this one. Unfortunately it's not checked by default and not in CCSM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153995 Title: Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdesktop/+bug/153995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Temp fix: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > None > Close I not sure if this has been fixed yet.

I'll give this a Medium importance since it can have a severe impact on anyone running RDP in full-screen, which is very useful to do. The solution also may be to disable Legacy Fullscreen Support from compiz by default, which Linux Mint does and as such does not suffer from this issue. ** Description changed: This happens when I have a gnome-rdp session open in fullscreen, with desktop effects enabled. I press CTRL+ALT+ to get out of fullscreen and it goes out for a blink of an eye and then re-maximizes itself so that I am stuck in the session. The only way I can get out is to log out, which is not an option. + + WORKAROUND: Install compizconfig-settings-manager and uncheck "Legacy + Fullscreen Support" from the Utility -> Workarounds group. ** Changed in: rdesktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 153995] Re: Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled
It really does seem to be a compiz problem in intrepid; I had it on a Toshiba laptop with an ATI video chip. On an old Compaq presario with an nvidia geforce 440 and the unaccelerated "nv" driver I didn't have the bug. As soon as the binary nvidia driver turned up, with compiz appearance "normal", the bug. Note that an alternative workaround to turning off compiz is to use "rdesktop -g99% ...". You'll have aslightly nasty gray unused "L" border (bottom+right) to your rdesktop session, but you can switch between full screen and windowed mode with Ctrl-Alt-Enter as you could in hardy. -- Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 153995] Re: Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled
What you call a bug, I call a feature. However I think that's only because of the description. It's not that you can't leave fullscreen, it's that rdesktop is no longer honoring the -K option. It's ignoring the WM keybindings. you definatly can still see the difference between fullscreen and just a large geom rdesktop session. I've gotten my cube to rotate while maximized and see when in fullscreen that the session follows me on to the new face. However I have not yet been able to get the cube to rotate out of fullscreen mode. I've had to shrink my geom to show the desktop applet and it allows me to rotate. So again,not stuck in fullscreen, it's just ignoring the WM keybindings. -- Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just found this bug after getting my nvidia drivers to work, I enabled visual effects and went full screen into rdesktop, had to fight it to get out (by holding ctrl+alt+enter while swiftly going to Alt+tab and getting ubuntu's attention) It is quite annoying, but it isn't "vital" at least, not for me.

Bug also exists in Hardy. The Ctrl-Alt-Enter + Ctrl-Alt-Left/Right trick doesn't work; sometimes it'll change the desktop on the local machine, but it will still take me back to the remote machine.

It's some sort of conflict with Compiz.

I have just encountered this problem, but curiously only in the last few weeks. I installed gutsy originally, but had problems with my graphics card driver which defaulted to the basic vesa driver. rdesktop behaved perfectly originally, but when I finally fixed my graphics card proprietary ATI driver (fglrx) installation so that all the OpenGL stuff and Compiz effects worked, rdesktop failed to switch with ctrl-alt-enter when I next came to use it. Don't know whether this was just a coincidence - might have been caused by a package update that I had downloaded in the same period. -- Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The workaround described by Andy V works for me -- thanks. I also created a launcher by right-clicking on the desktop and clicking "create launcher."

[Bug 153995] Re: Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled
I've just installed gutsy and have noticed the same problem. Fortunately, I discovered a decent workaround: start rdesktop at a resolution very slightly smaller then your full-screen resolution. For example, my laptop's resolution is 1280x800, so I start rdesktop like this: rdesktop -g 1280x799 When rdesktop comes up, it will be in a window, and you will be able to easily switch between fullscreen and windowed mode using Ctrl-Alt-Enter. Of course, your RDP session won't use the bottom row of pixels on your screen, but that seems like a small price to pay. Also, you'll probably have to start rdesktop from the command line, as it doesn't seem that tsclient and grdesktop support passing arbitrary resolutions to rdesktop. -- Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 153995] Re: Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled
This is happening to me, too, starting with my recent upgrade to Gutsy (final) from Feisty. Once I'm in a full-screen RDP session, I can't get back to Ubuntu in any sort of normal manner (CTRL-ALT-ENTER). "Lossy" workarounds: *Log out of remote machine (ends the remote session, retains local session) *CTRL-ALT-Backspace (ends local session, retains remote session--once logged back in via RDP) "Lossless" workaround. *This one's weird, but if you hold down CTRL-ALT-ENTER, and keep it down, you'll enter a Twilight Zone where it's rapidly flashing back and forth between Ubuntu and the remote session. While it's in this altered state, hit the Left arrow key and then let go of all four buttons. It's like roulette, so it might take several attempts, but eventually, you'll get to the desktop to the left of the one that's got the RDP session in it. Using this technique, you would want to start out by opening the RDP session on its own desktop, so it's not obscuring any apps/windows beneath it. -- Cannot exit gnome-rdp fullscreen when visual effects are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
