Ah, I didn't take the time to check into the bug reports on rdesktop but yes, i agree there should be a current development upstream on packages. Also, something else that was brought up in the irc channel by a user today that i felt was a good idea is the inclusion of (atleast the option) the more customizable installation that is available on the alternate install cd within the desktop/live cd. Now I assume that would be specific to the application used to do the installation from the livecd, but it would be a nice feature if possible. -Adam <div>On 12/4/06, Harold Aling <<a href="mailto:h.aling@home.nl">h.aling@home.nl</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Adam Miller wrote: > Sorry for double mailing, but a user just brought up a good point in > the irc channel. rdesktop isn't installed by default in xubuntu edgy, > but is on ubuntu edgy (also included on ubuntu livecd and not xubuntu > livecd) i think that would be a good addition as well since alot of > users seem to use it for one reason or another ... we are surrounded > by a windows world, its a sad fact we must face ..... > > -Adam Adam, is rdesktop still under active development? It seems that there are hundreds of bugs and proposed patches at their SF page. (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=24366">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=24366 </a>) Since MS's terminal server client (mstsc) crashes on keypress in Wine, rdesktop is still the only option for a lot of us, but there are so many visual bugs that it's almost unusable... (simple example: radio buttons aren't drawn correctly, so you can't see which one is selected, max 256 colors, etc) Getting back on topic: if a tool or programs is going to be included, it should have an active upstream and not too many open bugs...
