Cannot start a fullscreen VNC session

[admarginem]

When I try to start a fulscreen VNC session by setting "Operate in fullscreen mode" I've got an error message (see attach).
If I run vncviewer with -fullscreen option from command line - everything goes fine

tsclient version is:
ad@sky:~$ LANG=C dpkg -l tsclient

Confirmed here as well, as you say, running vncviewer with -fullscreen works fine though.

Hi.

i'm unable to reproduce this on latest version of tsclient (i'm using feisty). Can you try that version (0.148-2) and tell us if the bug is gone?

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

OK, Closing this one, because it does not happen in feisty.

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty.

The error message is as shown in the screenshot originally posted.

I was connected to a Win2k machine via an SSH tunnel to an intermediate FC5 machine.

vncviewer --version
VNC viewer version 3.3.7 - built Mar 8 2007 21:56:52

tsclient --version
  Terminal Server Client for GNOME
  a frontend for rdesktop
  tsclient version 0.148

In Win2k, I have the current TightVNC installed, although I'm not sure if that's the problem.

I also can confirm this for the latest Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty.

When using vncviewer from the command-line it works, it's must be a bug in tsclient which passes a wrong paramter to vncviewer.

Thank you for reporting this bug. tsclient has been removed from the Ubuntu 11.10 archives. The software has not had a new release in years and was no longer being maintained. Unfortunately that means this bug won't be fixed.
