Bug Description
Binary package hint: xrdp
Using xrdp on a default Xubuntu 8.04 works flawlessly.
Using xrdp on a default Ubuntu 8.04 installation messes up the keyboard after logging in to the remote desktop. To reproduce:
On a test server, using a default Ubuntu installation:
user@
user@
On an other computer:
user@client:~$ rdesktop testserver
The xrdp login screen xrdp works as expected. After I log in, I open an editor and I start to type:
qwertyuiop[] becomes on the screen: c.gvnmlzxyu
asdfghjkl;' becomes on the screen: abfhjk;'`io
zxcvbnm,. becomes on the screen: */d,s\[]
/ is the enter key
5 is the backspace key
This makes the keyboard totally unusable.
I have attached the contents of ~/.xsession-errors after logging in to this bug report.
Line 34 seems to indicate metacity as the possible culprit:
Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension.
WORKAROUND:
disable the keyboard plugin of the gnome-settings-
/apps/
set active to False.
Changed in xrdp (Ubuntu): | |
status: | Incomplete → Confirmed |
I have confirmed it this problem has the same solution as bug #199245: disable the keyboard plugin of the gnome-settings- daemon using gconf-editor:
/apps/ gnome_settings_ daemon/ plugins/ keyboard
set active to False.
