XRDP on 11.2 - Still giving me grief !

view full story
linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – I have a new/clean install of 11.2. I then followed this with the instructions at Nomad - openSUSE and all seemed to be better (see multiple postings from me on this subject). But ... This time, I have keyboard problems. If I run #rdesktop localhost -z, I connect, login and all seems to be well - until I try and use the keyboard? The only keys that register are "e j n space enter" and the "/ * - +" on the numeric keypad. If I then run mstsc from another network host, I see something different? Now, I have almost all the keys except "2" & "3" from main keyboard area and no numbers (0-9) from the keypad area. Incidentally, all the missing keys function at the logon screen. So I don't think that this is an XRDP issue, my suspicion is that it is a desktop (KDE4) related problem? Any thoughts would be most welcome, ~Martin (Distributions)

Terminalserver with Nomad 3 years 19 weeks ago

Hi folks,

for three weeks i decided to install suse 11.2 with KDE 4.3.1 to try to realise a Terminalserver. i followed the instruction of the Nomadsite (Nomad - openSUSE)

At a first glance it works probably fine, but like everything in life the devil is in the details.

What works:

Hi,

I've installed Karmic on a HP G61 notebook. It has a numeric keypad type keyboard.

The keypad part works when you switch off "Pointer can be controlled using the keypad" in System ? Preferences > Keyboard (Mouse Keys tab) + switch ON numlock.

The keyboard layout for the QWERTY part of the keyboard is not 100% correct.

I'm working with ubuntu 12.04, in french, with belgian keyboard.

I'm also using xrdp 0.5.0-2.

I did

setxkbmap -layout be

sudo cp km-0409.ini km-0409.ini.bak

sudo xrdp-genkeymap km-0409.ini

Using remote desktop connection under windows 7, the login screen seems ok. The keyboard is belgian.

I have troubles with two of my keyboard's (PS/2) keys, those are right arrow and "]" (might be more, haven't been able to test the function keys). I've tried the keys in BIOS and they work well, so I doubt it's something hardware related. What I've also tried is to uninstall the driver and install it again, however that doesn't work, still the same problem.

Fedora 18 and xrdp 17 weeks 1 day ago

I'm trying to connect to my Fedora 18 box from a Windows 8 box. I enter my username and password in the xrdp login box and get a blank screen except for a "connection log" GUI which says, "Connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350" If I click on the "OK" in this box, I get bounced back to the xrdp login.

ctrl/fct/alt key adjustment? 2 years 43 weeks ago

Both the ctrl and alt keys conspire to activate the "special" keys (screen brightness, sound, etc.) rather than targeting the f1, f2, etc., keys. Is there a setting in KDE (default 11.3 install on a pavilion dv7t x86_64 intel i7) that can adjust this? The ctrl key is used a lot by KDE, so I'd like it to target the function keys, not the "special" keys.

I'm learning asm. I'd like to plug in a second keyboard and assign macros to its keys. I'd like my primary keyboard to behave normally. So pressing 'A' on keyboard two would inject "add" into my document, perhaps with xdotool or something like it.

Hi, I'm new to Opensuse, I just installed 11.3. I'm a long time gnome user but I'd like to give KDE 4.4 a try.

My Dell laptop has an awful keyboard, which frequently makes me "rreppeat" keys while typing fast. On gnome desktops, I can easily fix this with an accesibility keyboard setting.
