Will this patch work for rdp connections also? I'm using remina from Ubuntu 14.04 64bit standard (Unity), to connect to a Windows 2003 server, and copy and paste, or typing directly in the remote windows computer, doesn't match properly the characters I typed in the keyboard.
E.g., I typed a letter with an accent (ú, è, ...), and they get written as "çu, çe...". And when copy-pasted, some weird characters are written. Keyboard seems to be properly detected, but chars are not right for this non ascii chars, so I presume the problem has to do with missing the appropriate charset conversion... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to remmina in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077355 Title: Clipboard transfer: Convert charset for non-UTF-8 peers Status in “remmina” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When copying text from a german WinXP machine, umlauts were dropped or replaced by \xffffffff depending on which text editor I locally pasted it into. When copying local text and pasting it remotely, umlauts were replaced by pairs of strange symbols, indicating they might have been UTF-8 encoded twice. The first patch adds charset conversion functionality that can be activated by setting the environment variable REMMINA_VNC_REMOTE_CHARSET. Tested successfully with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, said WinXP peer and REMMINA_VNC_REMOTE_CHARSET="ISO-8859-15". The second patch is a cargo-cult work-around to allow compiling on the test machine, and should be avoided or replaced by a better fix if possible. The patches are based on the Remmina Git Repository at http://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/remmina.git / commit 321ee0a3ded65ae0c00e055f301adfb6c78cec04 . Now that the patch works, aptitude reports "Package: remmina-plugin- vnc / State: not installed / Version: 1.0.0-1ubuntu6.1" but I'm not sure if the version number is of the original package with the bug or of the one that I compiled myself.
