The same rdesktop problem over and over again.

Hello thinstation-general,

I saw replying in one of the previous messages:
>"rdesktop hasn't changed from 2.2 through 2.3."

But it should!

SYMPTOMS:
Navigation keys don't work in rdesktop, NumPad works in navigation mode only,
"rdesktop complains about not being able to find keyboard en_us",
"rdesktop is broken in ver.2.3",
etc ...

CAUSE:
Ordinary user "ts" (not superuser "root") starts rdesktop application.

DISTRO:
Thinstation-2.3

SOLTION:
If you make your build on your own workstation apply the next command as superuser :
find /PATH_TO/Thinstation-2.3/packages/keymaps-* -perm 0600 -print|sort|xargs chmod 644

Best regards,
 Vladimir

I'll cross-post this to thinstation-developer, as it belongs there
(bug fix to a beta).

Thanks for the hint.

Mike

I was having similar issues with my rdp sessions. Don't know if this will help but you can give it a try, it solved my problem. Create your TS-o-Matic build via the Denmark site, use version 2.2.1rc1 and build it using the text version, not the gui version. For some reason both the Slovenia and Netherlands sites have/had issues with the en-us keyboard. Hope this helps.

Vladimir is pointing out that even where we have fixed the problem,  
the new 'non-root' changes for 2.3 have broken the fix.....

Both TSoM's were updated with a patch to fix the keyboard issue.
