This has been an on-going issue. I haven't been able to copy/paste through rdesktop reliably for over a decade.
For me, I usually have to make sure my user account is logged out of the Windows server (i.e. don't click the 'x' to end your session, instead hit start->logoff) and then I sign back in. If it's broken, that has a ~50% chance of fixing it for me. I eventually got so sick and tired of dealing with it, I did three things: 1 - Set up VPN tunnels to all my client networks so I no longer have to RDP in for a handful of use-cases (copying/pasting info to web forms for example) 2 - Installed a Windows VM under VirtualBox so I could copy/paste when I absolutely had to do it over RDP. 3 - Installed xfreerdp which allows me to copy/paste, but seems to crash from time to time when connecting to newer Windows servers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1439478 Title: Critical bug - Copy and Paste not Working in 15.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/1439478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
