Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) OS: FreeBSD make vnc connection to password protected host select "grab keys" from gui menu disconnect and leave "grab keys" selected attempt to make new connection to same host attempt will stall, password prompt is never displayed "sockstat -4 |grep krdc" will show krdc still has a connection open exiting krdc completely will cause the connection to be dropped and you can then use the connection again after restarting krdc It would also help if the grab keys always defaulted to off since when you reopen the connection, grab key is still selected and the password dialog will not accept input. Then you have to cancel the password dialog, deselect grab keys, completely exit from krdc again, restart it for a second time, open your connection, and enter the vnc password to start using the connection again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above. Actual Results: krdc doesn't disconnect the vnc connection when the "Disconnect" button is pressed while the "Grab Keys" button is selected. Expected Results: I expect a clean disconnect so I can reuse the connection in the same krdc session.
Well, I included some incorrect information. The grab keys button has no influence on the problem, anytime "Disconnect" is clicked on a vnc connection you can't resume that same connection without first terminating the krdc process.
Do you think this bug is related to bug #184840?
Yes that is the issue. I applied the patch from Stephan and rebuilt LibVNCServer to test. After applying the patch the problem is resolved. I do not understand why that patch is not in LibVNCServer as I'm using libvncserver-0.9.7_2 and the bug report page indicates the problem was fixed in 0.9.1. So this isn't a krdc issue and a duplicate it appears. Thanks for the help.
