KRDC RDP does not work at all after upgrade to 4.11 beta2 It says 'The version of "xfreerdp" you are using is too old. xfreerdp 1.0.2 or greater is required.' I have 1.0.1 and it seems quite obstructive that RDP totally breaks because of this mismatch. Of course "xfreerdp [servername]" in the terminal works, but many need a gui. Using Kubuntu packages. Hmm, just strikes me, is this a packaging issue? None the less, does KRDC really need the last minor version? Reproducible: Always
1.0.2 is required because of a bug in 1.0.1 which blocks from using it in KRDC. We cannot change anything here. Please report it to your distribution to update rdesktop.
Here is the relevant code: void RdpView::receivedStandardError() { const QString output(m_process->readAllStandardError()); kDebug(5012) << "receivedStandardError:" << output; QString line; int i = 0; while (!(line = output.section('\n', i, i)).isEmpty()) { // the following error is issued by freerdp because of a bug in freerdp 1.0.1 and below; // see: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/pull/576 //"X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) // Major opcode of failed request: 7 (X_ReparentWindow) // Resource id in failed request: 0x71303348 // Serial number of failed request: 36 // Current serial number in output stream: 36" if (line.contains(QLatin1String("X_ReparentWindow"))) { KMessageBox::error(0, i18n("The version of \"xfreerdp\" you are using is too old.\n" "xfreerdp 1.0.2 or greater is required."), i18n("RDP Failure")); connectionError(); return; } i++; } }
Thank you. I filed a bug for Kubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1196466
@Jekyll Wu: Thanks for posting the code. You can read in this code more exactly why 1.0.2 is required.
